CAREER: A New Approach to Clustering Based on Synchronization of Coupled Oscillators with Application to Content Based Image Retrieval

.该研究项目将首先开发一种新的可扩展的聚类算法，可以检测未知数量的任意形状的聚类。这种方法将基于一个同步模型的正耦合振荡器。接下来，本计画将使用本研究所开发的丛集演算法，建立一个CBIR（Content-Based Image Retrieval）原型系统。职业发展计划将包括培训学生在CBIR以及启动一系列的研究研讨会。拟议的研究还将支持本科设计项目。

. This research project will first develop a new scalable algorithm for clustering that can detect an unknown number of arbitrarily shaped clusters. This approach will be based on a synchronization model of plus-coupled oscillators. Next the project will build a CBIR (Content-Based Image Retrieval) prototype using the clustering algorithm developed in this research. The career development plan will include training students in CBIR as well as initiating a research seminar series. The proposed research will also support undergraduate design projects.
