Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a new image clustering method. We have proposed an image clustering method using a neocognitron which is one of the neural networks. In this paper, we use the edge features of the images as the input stimulus of the neocognitron. However, since this method notes only the edge features of the images, misclassifications are inevitable by changes of the target object's direction. Therefore, this paper proposes a new image clustering method based on the edge and color features. The color histogram that is one of the color features is robust to these problems. Therefore, the proposed method classifies the images based on the color histogram by using the self-organizing map. Further, the structure of the neocognitron is adaptively set from the obtained clustering result to perform the classification based on edges. Therefore, since both the color and edge features of the images can be utilized, our method accurately classifies the images. Some experimental results show the proposed method achieves high classification performance.
