Hi @mpatacchiola
can this algorithm be used to cluster multiple image?

Hi @saravananoppila yes it can be easily used to do so. An image is just a vector when it is flattened and SOMs can manage to cluster them (see here for an example). However, for more appealing results I suggest to use t-SNE on images since it is more effective in clustering high-dimensional data (see here for an example).
