Abstract
Systems and methods for clustering a plurality of feature vectors. A hierarchical clustering algorithm is performed on the plurality of feature vectors to provide a plurality of clusters and a cluster similarity measure for each cluster representing the quality of the cluster. Each cluster of the plurality of clusters with a cluster similarity measure meeting a threshold value is accepted. A clustering algorithm is performed on each cluster that fails to meet the threshold value to provide a set of subclusters each having an associated cluster similarity measure. Each subcluster having a cluster similarity measure meeting the threshold value is accepted.
