python wrapper for basic c implementation of kmeans

Project description

kmeans

https://travis-ci.org/numberoverzero/kmeans.png?branch=master

python wrapper for a basic c implementation of the k-means algorithm.

Installation

pip install kmeans

Usage

import kmeans
means = kmeans.kmeans(points, k)

points should be a list of tuples of the form (data, weight) where data is a list with length 3.

For example, finding two mean colors for a group of pixels:

pixels = [
    [(15, 20, 25), 1],  # [(r,g,b), count]
    [(17, 31, 92), 5],
    # ... Lots more ...
]

mean_pixels = kmeans.kmeans(pixels, 2)

In this case, the weights passed in may be the frequency of the pixels occuring in an image, or some preference to pull the means towards a color.

Inspiration

I wanted to apply the implementation there to images much larger than 200x200. Running a 4k x 3k image was approaching 60 seconds on a nice computer, so I decided to rewrite the kmeans implementation in c.
