Using k-means clustering to classify microscopic colon images

This study reports on the performance of k-means clustering technique in classifying microscopic images of colonic tissue. Prior to the applications of the k-means clustering algorithm, the images were classified by a human expert according to 3 categories: normal, adenomatous polyp, and adenocarcin...
