Clustering by mode boundary detection. (English) Zbl 0658.62075

A new approach to clustering is developed, which is based on detecting the boundaries of the modes of the underlying probability density function. This approach calls for a generalization of the concepts of boundary to multidimensional functions. It is particularly useful when no a priori information is available as to the number of clusters and their distribution.
