Applications
Intelligent Image Color Reduction and Quantization
Reduce image colors in MATLAB with k-Means, fuzzy c-Means, or a self-organizing map, using RGB or weighted HSV values and a smaller palette.
Applications
Optimization and learning methods applied to concrete problems: vehicle routing, facility layout, scheduling, inventory control, portfolio selection, economic dispatch, path planning, data envelopment analysis and more.
Each post defines the problem, explains how it is modeled for the algorithm, and provides code that you can run and adapt to your own case.
