Mean-shift

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mean-shift is a non-parametric feature space analysis technique.[1] Application domains include clustering in computer vision and image processing.

[edit] History

The mean shift procedure was originally presented in 1975 by Fukunaga and Hostetler. [2]

[edit] Overview

Mean shift is a procedure for locating stationary points of a density function given discrete data sampled from that function.[1] It is useful for detecting the modes of this density.[1]
