A new multiple-factor clustering method considering both box fractal dimension and orientation of joints

The paper proposes a new multiple-factor clustering method (NMFCM) with consideration of both box fractal dimension (BFD) and orientation of joints. This method assumes that the BFDs of different clusters were uneven, and clustering was performed by redistributing the joints near the boundaries of c...
