Who would have thought that automatically grouping lines together would be so difficult?
PatrickAbout Spiral Graph: Cluster Buster
The goal of this project is to untangle tracings of spiral galaxy arms produced by Spiral Graph volunteers. Our algorithm clusters, or groups, tracings together to indicate individual arms, but it's not always correct. We need you to tell us if the algorithm has been successful or not so we can improve its accuracy.
