聚类算法是应用于数据挖掘和模式识别中很重要的一种分析方法，ap是新提出的一种聚类算法，不需要事先指定聚合点的数目-Affinity Propagation (AP) clustering has been successfully used in a lot of clustering problems. However, most of the applications deal with static data.

对数据和图像进行聚类分析，k-means聚类方法多应用于模式识别，人工智能，机器学习等方面(Clustering analysis of data and images, K-means clustering method should be used in pattern recognition, artificial intelligence, machine learning and so on)
