Abstract

This paper presents a new process for modular clustering of complex data, such as that used in remote sensing images. This method performs feature weighting in a wrapper approach. The proposed method combines several local specialists, each one extracting one cluster only and using different feature weights. A new clustering quality criterion, adapted to independant clusters, is defined. The weight learning is performed through a cooperative coevolution algorithm, where each species represents one of the clusters to be extracted.
