This example uses Spectral clustering on a graph created from voxel-to-voxel difference on an image to break this image into multiple partly-homogeneous regions.
This procedure (spectral clustering on an image) is an efficient approximate solution for finding normalized graph cuts.
There are two options to assign labels:
- with ?kmeans? spectral clustering will cluster samples in the embedding space using a kmeans algorithm
- whereas ?discrete? will iteratively search for the closest partition space to the embedding space.
