In recent times, there has been a lot of emphasis on Unsupervised learning. Studies like customer segmentation, pattern recognition has been a widespread example of this which in simple terms we can refer to as Clustering. We used to solve our problem using a basic algorithm like K-means or Hierarchical Clustering. With the introduction of Gaussian mixture modelling clustering data points have become simpler as they can handle even oblong clusters. It works in the same principle as K-means but has some of the advantages over it.

Image compression is reducing the size that an image takes while storing or transmitting.  Images of high quality take a lot of memory while storing, whereas the low image of low quality takes less memory. There are many ways by which we can compress images, one of which is K-Means Clustering. Here, we will discuss…
