ABSTRACT
Unsupervised image classification is the process by which each image in a dataset is identified to be a member of one of the inherent categories present in the image collection without the use of labelled training samples. Unsupervised categorisation of images relies on unsupervised machine learning algorithms for its implementation. This paper identifies clustering algorithms and dimension reduction algorithms as the two main classes of unsupervised machine learning algorithms needed in unsupervised image categorisation, and then reviews how these algorithms are used in some notable implementation of unsupervised image classification algorithms.
