Analysis and Application of the Generalized Mean-Shift Process
Pre-proceedings of the Fifth International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Statistics, PMLR R0:102-111, 1995.
Abstract
The mean shift process repeatedly moves each data point to the mean of data points in its neighborhood. This process is generalized and analyzed. Its relation with maximum-entropy and $\mathrm{K}$-means clustering methods is studied. Its nature of gradient mapping is revealed. Its applications in clustering, Hough transform, and overfitting relaxation are examined.
