A practical approach to nonparametric cluster analysis of large data sets is presented. The number of clusters and the cluster centers are derived by applying the mean shift procedure on a reduced set of points randomly selected from the data. The cluster boundaries are delineated using a k-nearest neighbor technique. The resulting algorithm is stable and efficient, allowing the cluster decomposition of a 10000 point data set in only a few seconds. Complex clustering examples and applications are discussed.
