This example aims at showing characteristics of different clustering algorithms on datasets that are ?interesting? but still in 2D

Demonstrates the effect of different metrics on the hierarchical clustering. The example is engineered to show the effect of the choice

Performs a pixel-wise Vector Quantization (VQ) of an image of the summer palace (China), reducing the number of colors required to show the image from 96,615

Evaluate the ability of k-means initializations strategies to make the algorithm convergence robust as measured by the relative
