More specifically, the recently proposed adaptive possibilistic c-means algorithm is modified in order to cope with this type of clusters. The main advantage of the proposed method is that it does not require a priori knowledge of the exact number of clusters. Instead, it begins with an overestimated number of them and (potentially) ends up with the true number of them. Preliminary results of the proposed algorithm on both synthetic and real data verify its validity." }
