Mean Shift - Learn Data Science with Travis

Mean-Shift

Mean Shift is a powerful clustering algorithm used in unsupervised machine learning to identify clusters within a dataset without prior knowledge of the number of clusters. Unlike K-Means, which requires specifying the number of clusters beforehand, Mean Shift dynamically determines the number of clusters based on the density of data points. The algorithm works by iteratively shifting data points towards the mean of points within a defined window, effectively locating the densest areas in the data. This makes it particularly useful for applications such as image segmentation and object tracking in computer vision, where understanding data distribution is crucial.
