Abstract

In the Internet era, image information is widely used across all industries. The volume of image data is enormous, so effective transmission and storage require image compression. The K-Means algorithm is one of the most commonly used clustering algorithms. This paper applies the clustering approach to image compression and uses Python to implement K-Means clustering for image compression. Experimental results show that K-Means clustering can indeed compress images.
