Using the Alpha Geodesic Distance in Shapes K-Means Clustering
F. D. Oikonomou and A. De Sanctis

This paper is based mainly on the relevant work [1]. In that paper the authors studied the problem of clustering of different shapes using Information Geometry tools including, among others, the Fisher Information and the resulting distance. Here we are using the same methods but for the geodesics of the alpha connection for three different values of the alpha parameter.

Key words: Shape Analysis, clustering, information geometry, alpha connection, alpha geodesics, Fisher-Rao metric
