A method for clustering based on unsupervised learning according to an embodiment of the invention enables clustering for newly generated patterns and is robust against noise, and does not require tagging for training data. According to one or more embodiments, noise is accurately removed using three-dimensional stacked spatial auto-correlation, and multivariate spatial probability distribution values and polar coordinate system spatial probability distribution values are used as learning features for clustering model generation, making them robust to noise, rotation, and fine unusual shapes. In addition, clusters resulting from clustering are classified into multi-level clusters, and stochastic automatic evaluation of normal/defect clusters is possible only with measurement data without a label.
