K-means clustering in Java code found!

My blogpost on K-means clustering has the highest number of views, so people are probably interested in it. Sadly enough I lost the source code of the K-means action a while ago. Last week I needed an external harddisk to make a back-up of some files. There was already some content on the disk. I found quite some pieces of code including the K-means code. Although it is quite simple code operating on (if I remember correctly 8-bit) greyscale images, it might give some insights in how to do this.

The whole code file is presented below. For more information you can view my earlier blogpost on K-means clustering.

The source code might not be completely visible. It can be viewed in a blank screen here. As mentioned in the replies to this post, I forgot to add the ClusterClass. It can be viewed in a blank screen here.

    Hi Patrick,

    really appreciate your k-means clustering in Java because i am planning to implement it into j2me.

    hope you could add the custom class (ClusterClass) soon so i could try it out on the desktop first.

    Thanks.

    I’ve updated the post with a link to the file as well as the contents in the post itself. Note that these classes are actually part of an application which I was writing, so they might have been written in the context of this application.

    I would like to continue this application and make it public here some day, but I don’t have the time to do that just now.

    If there are any questions, sugesstions, or whatsoever I’d be glad to hear them!

      Hi Vinod,

      I’m afraid not. I must admit that I haven’t looked into the code recently. If I’d only have some more time I would. Do you happen to have a clear data source about Cure & Chamelon clustering from which an implementation can be derived?

    dekompi: As this action is part of an application, the main method is not present in this class. It’s an action class which receives its info from the main frame. The main frame is basically a frame which shows images and adds file options.

  13. Patrick schreef:

    Raghotham S:

    The segmentation is done on the histogram. The histogram of an image is basically a ‘graph’ of all pixel values of the image. In greyscale images the red value is equal to the green and the blue value. When having an image with 256 colors, your histogram contains of 256 bins. You simply count the pixels having a red (or green or blue) value of 0, 1, 2, …, 255. I will try and look up the code for the application tonight.

    …cud u pls elaborate distributed over color space and k..(the theorey part)..
    neways very good prog..
    thanks..

  24. Patrick schreef:

    Shipra,

    I don’t think the result is the same for all three types of initialization. That would be a coincidence. What K-means actually tries to do is to find clusters of likely ‘equal’ pixel values. It all depends on the original image histogram. Especially when the mean is distributed over the color space.
    I can’t imagine my code always gives good results for randomly chosen means. In the worst case all means chosen are close to each other and at one side of the histogram.

    Come to think of it: the means could also be chosen in a weighted way. This would perhaps give some good results in all cases.

    I cannot give you a direct solution to all your issues. However, I’d suggest that you call your files KMeansAction.java and ClusterClass.java.

    You can also find the package as a whole on the download page, or just here

    It contains both those two classes as well as some code around them. As far as I know (at least back then) it didn’t contain errors.

    Hope this provides some more insights!

    hey patrick….
    i wanted 2 knw hw 2 input d histogram in d kmeansaction class…. plz reply it asap its urgent………

  34. Patrick schreef:

    Vikas,

    The histogram is just an array with the pixel values as keys and the times they occur as values. As this operates on grey values, the R, G and B values are the same.
    If we take a 256 bit greyscale image, we have 256 colors: (0,0,0), (1,1,1), … , (255,255,255).
    The histogram will therefore contain keys 0 to 255. Each of the keys represents the grey value.

    example:
    histogram[0] = 25
    histogram[1] = 14

    histogram[255] = 3

    would mean there are 25 pixels of grey value (0,0,0), 14 pixels of grey value (1,1,1), …. , and 3 pixels which have grey value (255,255,255) in the image.

    Does this help you?

  36. Patrick schreef:

    How to generate a histogram:

    Create a histogram array with a bin (entry) for each pixel value
    foreach pixel in your image:
    Get the pixel value
    Increment the appropriate bin in the histogram array by one
    end foreach

    Now you have a histogram: just an array where the keys are the pixel values and the values are the times they occur.
    Provide this array to the kmeans action, alongside some vars (number of bins etc.) as mentioned above in the code and it will calculate the clusters.

    Hi Ishani,

    It’s clear that apparently the import is not valid any more. Which version of Java are you running?
    I haven’t checked lately if the TIFFImageReader is (re)moved in the latest Java versions.
    Please check which import causes the error. For a quick fix perhaps there are earlier versions of that import which you can supply locally. For a more persistent fix you should find the (new) correct path to the TIFFImageReader class.

    hi pattrick,
    how should i change the dimensions of a histogram so that it fits on the screen??????

  50. Patrick schreef:

    Hi Ishani,

    The clusters currently work on greyscale images, by using the property that the R value is equal to the G value and the B value. So as you can see in the code, the R value is used.
    So basically the code works on redscale images 😉
    You could of course adjust this part and by that get a different value which can be clustered.

    What’s the objective function you mentioned exactly?

    The dimensions of a histogram should be relative I think. I have encountered these issues as well, but didn’t fix them any more. (Shame on me). The dimensions of the histogram should be relative to the screen / drawing panel. Based on the dimensions of the drawing panel you should determine the scale for the histogram so that it fits the screen and preserves the histogram itself.

    I will have a look at the articles you provided when I got time to 🙂

  57. Hi darsha,

    First things first: you’ve got to think on which attributes you are going to cluster. As diseases may have many attributes, think of a good one which can really separate the diseases (clusters).
    The problem is actually not on the code. The theory is the most important part here.

  58. Hi Harry potter (wow! THE Harry? ;-))

    Your problem is quite an easy one at first sight, and I don’t know whether K-Means clustering is the best option for this. K-Means clustering clusters data in an iterative fashion. If you have a predefined set of words which are characteristic for network intrusion, you’re basically counting / separating.
    Can you explain what your method would look like? How would you do network intrusion detection step by step?

    Cheers,

    Patrick

  60. Hmm.. that’s a good one. Clustering is mostly done on a group of data. What exactly do you want to establish with intrusion detection? Would you like to review every request and directly alarm in case of an intrusion? What does the intrusion detection flow look like?

  63. Hi Harry,

    Just saw that you’d posted a reply a while ago, my bad!
    Regarding the syslog file: it’s a CSV. Which columns does it have?

    K-means clustering would in your case just mean that you need to extract a the messages from the CSV file and classify them in two groups. Based on those two groups the real-time detection algorithm would decide whether a detection occurs based on the message.

    And how would you do this real-time? Would you capture the incoming package and check for particular words?

    I want to convert grayescale image into binary image ..so can u suggest any solution..!

    • Hi Akash, this is pretty straightforward. At some point in the image histogram you put the ‘splitting point’. Pixelvalues on the one side will become white and on the other side will become black. This is called thresholding. This is also implemented in the ISPE code which is available on my downloads page.

      Cheers,

    • Hi Felix,

      I took a look at the code and I see that the Window Slicing operation only turns image pixels outside the window to black. Well, it’s not that hard to create a thresholding operation:

      package actions;

      import java.awt.Color;
      import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;

      /**
      * Does a thresholding operation. This will set all values below the threshold to 0 (black) and above the threshold to white (255)
      * @author Patrick van Kouteren (http://www.vankouteren.eu)
      *
      */
      public class ThresholdingAction {

      BufferedImage image_temp;

      public ThresholdingAction(BufferedImage image, int threshold) {
      image_temp = image;
      createNewImage(image, threshold);
      }

      private void createNewImage(BufferedImage image, int threshold) {
      for (int h = 0; h < image.getHeight(); h++) { for (int w = 0; w < image.getWidth(); w++) { Color rgb = new Color(image.getRGB(w, h)); int grey = rgb.getRed(); if (!(grey < threshold)) { grey = 0; } else { grey = 255; } image_temp.setRGB(w, h, (new Color(grey, grey, grey)).getRGB()); } } } public BufferedImage getResultImage() { return image_temp; } } Note that I've created this on the fly (no testing, just writing this out of my head), so you'll need to test this, as well as create the dialog for it and add it to the main Ispe.java class, but I think this code is the main thing you are looking for. I'll add it to ISPE later on. Cheers, Patrick

    Hi,
    Thanks Patrick, I got binary image.
    I want to remove noise from that image.
    Please help me…

    Someone told me use dilation technique after getting binary image. But I dont know how to use that tech…

    • Hi Shital,

      Dilation and erosion are common techniques to remove noise from images. They’re often used together. When performing dilation, you add pixels to the borders. When performing erosion, you remove pixels from the borders.
      If you combine these operations you can remove noise from an image:
      Let’s say you have noise which has the form of 3 x 3 pixels blocks. If you then perform an erosion operation in which you remove 2 pixels from the borders, the noise pixels would disappear. That’s great, but remember that the other objects also are smaller now. By performing a dilation in which you add 2 pixels to the borders, the other objects will grow again, but noise isn’t present any more.

      The above example is pretty theoretical. In practice, you would use a kernel for erosion and dilation operations. The kernel defines a form which in its turn defines which pixels will appear or disappear in the dilation and erosion operations. It’s wise to take a look at kernels. It isn’t hard to understand.

      I would like to implement these operations in my ISPE project and I will do so when I find time for the implementation.
      If you have any more questions, please reply 🙂

    Hi Patrick,

    I found your site when googling on K-Mean Vector Quantization …

    Currently my homework is to convert 320 x 400 pixel black and white image to smaller size (as in 1mb bcome 100kb) …

    I have the K value and block value … i dunno how to convert 320 x 400 into 4 x 4 pixel per block … and assign randomly to K value … can you advised on this?

    • Hi Kay,

      If I understand correctly you have two ‘issues’, namely:
      1) Convert the image to an image based on blocks
      2) Do K-means clustering

      My first question: how can you create an image built out of 4×4 blocks when the resolution is 320 x 400? The ratio is 4:5. I would expect 4×5 pixel blocks as this makes it easier for you.
      When you have these blocks, these have a value (how do you determine the value?) and the K-means clustering can be performed on those block values when you know the K value.
      Your K-value just means that you have K clusters in which your data points will be clustered. You can initially just assign a random cluster to all data points (which are your blocks) and run the algorithm.

      If you need any more help, just reply 🙂

    I used K means for clustering. Now i want to do dilation and erosion technique. I failed to implement it. So please help me to do this.

    merci

  72. This K Medoids method is interesting as well! I’ll try and take a look at it as soon as possible. I’ll also write a blogpost about erosion and dilation. This is fairly easy. Next to that I’ll pick up the ISPE application code and implement erosion and dilation in it.
    Unfortunately I cannot tell when I’ll be doing this as I’m quite busy at the moment.

    Thanks for all replies and requests. Really cool to see my blogpost is still useful nowadays 🙂

    Hello Patrick,

    Thanx for your help. Now, I will show what I did till now…

    my input image is here:
    https://picasaweb.google.com/106288868503185993495/ImageProcessing#5727237106338349058

    output:
    extracted road clusters from above image..
    and I am here now!!!

    First of all I have used K-means algorithm then used thresholding.
    I want to remove non-road elements and noise from the image below..

    Please help me….

    You can also check the Java K-Means implementation on my website:

    It offers 47 data mining algorithms.

    can u provide the code for incremental k means clustering.

    can u send me how to execute this code.. and the software version to use this code.. the complete steps to execute this code..

    • Hi Vinoth,

      Have you downloaded the source code from the download page? Running it is pretty basic. For an example how it works in an application, you can download the Ispe development source code from the download page. This uses the clustering algorithm from this blogpost!

    Hi,
    I have calculated color histogram of an image and next step is to implement weighted Kmeans clustering,so can you suggest me how to implement Kmeans clustering on RGB histogram. Here the number of bins (k) is not known initially.Instead of that sampling pixel set is input from which we have to randomly choose cluster centers and go on reduncing clusters. Cubical area around the Cluster center with radius 32 is used to cluster the points together.

    Thanking You!

    hi patrick,
    I’m doing my kmeans project for blood cell image segmentation. I’m running this with ur ispe programme but i keep getting ‘error occur while processing this image!’ while using the image data..i’m using the coloured image. just wondering if this programme works well with coloured image too?if yes then what might be the problem of this?
    Thanks anyway for this brilliant programme..

    • Hi farah,

      The ISPE application actually turns a coloured image into a greyscale image, so technically speaking it works with coloured images, but it actually doesn’t use the colors.
      If I recall correctly I’ve had similar issues before with large images. Having said that: I’ve written the code back in 2007, so there must be more up to date libraries at this time which may handle larger images better. You could try to give Java more memory, or get the source and try to incorporate a more recent image processing library.

      Cheers,

      Patrick

    hi patrick,
    yeah u got it right with the memory issue and i managed to solve it. right now i’m working with this enhanced kmeans and i’m looking to make some adjustment at the point of the initialization stage (k-value)…do u have any idea if i want to make it independent variable?

    cheers,
    farah

    hi this code is nice,
    i dono which main prog to run
    can u plz help

  82. Hi asa,

    The main method is part of the ISPE code. You can download it at downloads page.

    Cheers,

    Patrick

    hi patrick,
    My interest is on the K based on information in the image.Do u have any idea how to modify it or which part that i should focus on.

    thanks,
    farah

  84. Hi farah,

    I’m not sure I fully understand your question. What are your intentions: do you determine this K beforehand? And based on which information?

    Cheers,

    Patrick
