SELECTING BETWEEN CLUSTERING TECHNIQUES FOR DISPLAYING IMAGES
First Claim
1. A method of operating at least one computing device, the method comprising:
- selecting between a first clustering process and a second clustering process based on whether at least one condition is satisfied;
if the first clustering process is selected, performing the first clustering process on a first plurality of images to obtain a first clustering result, wherein the first clustering process uses first coordinate axes that were used in a previous clustering process; and
if the second clustering process is selected, performing the second clustering process on a second plurality of images to obtain a second clustering result, wherein the second clustering process uses second coordinate axes different from the first coordinate axes used in the previous clustering process.

Abstract
A method of operating at least one computing device. The method selects between a first clustering process and a second clustering process based on whether at least one condition is satisfied. If the first clustering process is selected, the first clustering process is performed on a first plurality of images to obtain a first clustering result. The first clustering process uses first coordinate axes that were used in a previous clustering process. If the second clustering process is selected, the second clustering process is performed on a second plurality of images to obtain a second clustering result, wherein the second clustering process uses second coordinate axes different from the first coordinate axes used in the previous clustering process. Some embodiments are directed to an apparatus capable of performing the above method. Some embodiments are directed to a computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed, perform the above method.
