clustering is a widespread data analysis and data mining technique in many fields of study such as engineering, medicine, biology and the like. the aim of clustering is to collect data points. in this paper, a cultural algorithm (ca) is presented to optimize partition with n objects into k clusters. the ca is one of the effective methods for searching into the problem space in order to find a n...

In recent decades, plastic-mulched farmland has expanded rapidly in China as well as in the rest of the world because it results in marked increases of crop production. However, plastic-mulched farmland significantly influences the environment and has so far been inadequately investigated. Accurately monitoring and mapping plastic-mulched farmland is crucial for agricultural production, environ...
