Abstract

This paper introduces a new constrained hierarchical agglomerative algorithm with an aggregation index which uses neighbouring relations present in the data. Experiments show the behaviour of the proposed contiguity-constrained agglomerative hierarchical algorithm in the case of medical image segmentation.
