It is initialized by clustering and it is not required that the user introduces any initial parameters. It works with complex color images, with random backgrounds and it is robust to lighting and background changes. The clustering method used, based on the Vector Quantization (VQ) algorithm, is compared to other optimum model selection methods, based on the EM algorithm, using synthetic data. Finally, real results of the proposed method and conclusions are shown.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.900</style></accession-num></record></records></xml>
