    <p>I've been reading the formulas on how to compute the affinity matrix of an image and I'm a bit confused. Ideally, I would like to use color intensity as a distance metric.</p> <p>I found this reference: <a href="http://spectrallyclustered.wordpress.com/2010/06/05/sprint-1-k-means-spectral-clustering/" rel="nofollow">http://spectrallyclustered.wordpress.com/2010/06/05/sprint-1-k-means-spectral-clustering/</a></p> <p>Which seems to do a great job of explaining the general process. My question is with respect to the affinity matrix.</p> <p>When constructing the affinity matrix (I'll call it A), they mention the affinity matrix should be KxK sized for a Kxn image. Other reference implementations say the affinity matrix for an MxN image should be (M*N) x (M*N):</p> <p><a href="http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/26354-spectral-clustering-algorithms" rel="nofollow">http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/26354-spectral-clustering-algorithms</a></p> <p>Which one is the traditional approach?</p> <p>When computing the affinity matrix, I wanted to know if each entry A(i,j) be a neighborhood computation (like the affinity of a 3x3 neighborhood or the pixels in the entire image)?</p> <p>Or do I linearize the image into a 1 dimensional array.</p> <p>Constructs an (m*n) x (m*n) matrix (the affinity matrix) and while iterating across the 1 dimensional image array, apply an affinity function to pixel i and every other pixel j. and stores the result into the affinity matrix.</p> <p>(basically a double nested for loop)</p> <p>am i off base? or is that about how it looks?</p> <p>Thanks in advance,</p> <p>ct</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
