C2PM - Color to Pixel Map

C2PM is an experimental image format that explores an inverted indexing approach to image storage by mapping colors to pixel indices instead of pixels to colors. Designed to study tradeoffs in data layout, the format enables constant-time color-based queries and is suited for analytical and experimental workflows rather than visual rendering. The project focuses on systems-level design, binary file structures, and the implications of non-spatial image representations.

Ard Kmeans++

ARD-KMeans++ is a modified centroid initialization strategy for K-Means clustering that refines distance-based selection using local density information. The algorithm builds on the K-Means++ approach by first identifying a distant candidate centroid and then relocating it to a nearby dense region using a k-nearest-neighbor–based adaptive radius.
