By quickly exploring the available data using an inter-objects similarity measure plus an ambiguity measure of individual objects, this algorithm provides the number of clusters present in X, plus a set of optimized prototypes V = {v1, v2,..., vn} where each prototype characterizes one of the c detected clusters. The performance of the algorithm is illustrated by typical examples of simulation results obtained for different real test data.} }
