Finding hidden groups in messy data with simple geometry
Computers often must group points that sit near flat patches in space, but usually we don't know how many patches are there or how big they is.
A new analysis shows a way to let a smart algorithm find those hidden groups even when things looks messy.
The trick uses basic shapes and angles, a kind of geometric insight that make the method steady.
Surprisingly, it still works when the flat patches touch each other — method separate intersecting shapes correctly most of the time.
It also cope with tons of junk data, so it can handle dataset with many outliers and not be fooled.
Tests on real-like data backs this up, showing the approach are fast and reliable, and it's useful for images, sensors, or any messy measurements.
You don't need to tell the computer how many groups to look for; it figure that out, and that makes it handy for lots of problems where labels are missing or unclear.
