Let's call these point clouds classes from now on. With this tool set at hand, we can already code a simple classifier. We could e.g. detect whether any given point (P_new) is closer to the point cloud which we call class_0 or class_1. We can find out, by calculating the distances of P_new to the centroids of the classes c_0 abd c_1 as shown in the picture below. | ||
