Description

K-Means Clustering on Images

In this problem, you will use K-means clustering for image compression. Two image files provided in the elearning. The assignment task is to display the images after data compression using K-means clustering for different values of K (2, 5, 10, 15, 20).
Is there a tradeoff between image quality and degree of compression? What would be a good value of K for each of the two images?
from matplotlib import pyplot as io import numpy as np from PIL import Image

# Image to array
img1 = io.imread(imagefilename) #image is saved as rows * columns * 3 array print (img1)

#Array to image file
array = np.zeros([10,20,3], dtype = np.uint8)

array[:,:10] = [255, 128, 0] # Orange left side array[:,10:] = [0,0,255] # Blue right side
Note that your program must compile and we should be able to replicate your results.
Otherwise no credit will be given.
What to turn in:
1. Your code and datasets
2. A README for your compiling/using your code
3. A report (pdf or doc file) containing answers to the questions posed.

The following code is for reading and writing Image Files: Image to RGB array or RGB array to image:

print(array) img2 = Image.fromarray(array) img2.save(‘testrg.png’)
