However, we want to cluster large scale data where the similarities are not sparse in many cases. This paper presents two variants of AP for grouping large scale data with a dense similarity matrix. The local approach is partition affinity propagation (PAP) and the global method is landmark affinity propagation (LAP). PAP passes messages in the subsets of data first and then merges them as the number of initial step of iterations; it can effectively reduce the number of iterations of clustering. LAP passes messages between the landmark data points first and then clusters non-landmark data points; it is a large global approximation method to speed up clustering. Experiments are conducted on many datasets, such as random data points, manifold subspaces, images of faces and Chinese calligraphy, and the results demonstrate that the two ap-proaches are feasible and practicable.展开更多

Firstly,projection ray-based method is proposed to improve the feature extraction efficiency of 3D models. Based on the relationship between model and its projection,the intersection in 3D space is transformed into intersection in 2D space,which reduces the number of intersection and improves the efficiency of the extraction algorithm. In feature extraction,multi-layer spheres method is analyzed. The two-layer spheres method makes the feature vector more accurate and improves retrieval precision. Secondly,Semi-supervised Affinity Propagation ( S-AP) clustering is utilized because it can be applied to different cluster structures. The S-AP algorithm is adopted to find the center models and then the center model collection is built. During retrieval process,the collection is utilized to classify the query model into corresponding model base and then the most similar model is retrieved in the model base. Finally,75 sample models from Princeton library are selected to do the experiment and then 36 models are used for retrieval test. The results validate that the proposed method outperforms the original method and the retrieval precision and recall ratios are improved effectively.展开更多
