onto the interval (0 1] to model the strenght of
the equality ratio of both clusters: If the n ( C 1 ) amounts to n ( C 2 ) , then a value of
unity is associated with it; on the contrary, as the n ( C 1 ) significantly deviates from
n ( C 2 ) , then a value of approaching zero is associated with it, however, it will never
become zero as the minimum number of pixels reside in any cluster is one pixel.
This enables the logarithm function to be utilized in this modeling. The CER func-
tion versus ratio n ( C 1 )

The CER function provided a numerical evaluation of the block content about
the ratio between the first cluster and the second cluster. If the ratio is relatively
high or relatively low, the CER results in low value, then the dividing process is
