In image analysis, however, the data is often complex and several instances of a model are simultaneously present, each accounting for a relative small percentage of the data points. Only robust methods designed with the special nature of the visual data in mind can achieve satisfactory results. Several papers exploit the mean shift technique for nonparametric clustering of multimodal feature spaces. Code ![](http://coewww.rutgers.edu/riul/resources/clearpix.gif) Semi-Supervised Kernel Mean Shift Clustering Matlab code to perform mean shift clustering in kernel space by using a few user-specified pairwise constraints.
