Abstract

[Subject] It is to provide a clustering system, the processing speed of which is high and which can perform clustering with high accuracy and to provide an image processing system having the clustering system.[Means to Attain the Subject] A clustering system for classifying elements into clusters a plurality of times includes judging device. The judging device judges whether a cluster into which each element is classified is definite or indefinite at a predetermined timing between the classifications. After the predetermined timing, only the elements in the cluster judged as being indefinite by the judging device are classified. It is preferable that the classification before the predetermined timing is performed by the C-Means method and that the classification after the predetermined timing is performed by the FCM. An image processing system has the clustering system as a part of its functions and segments an image into regions by using the information on the clustered pixels.
