Summary

A frozen vision model and HSV histograms cluster 7,972 Mexico City bus images without labels.

A 65/35 blend of morphological and color features produced 14 clusters and improved precision for the target public-bus group over morphology alone. The result comes from one road-camera dataset and does not establish route identity or citywide monitoring performance.

Why it matters
