Interest in digital image processing techniques dates back to the early 1920's, when digitized pictures of world news events were first transmitted by submarine cable between New York and London. Applications of digital image processing concepts, however, did not become widespread until the middle 1960's, when third-generation digital computers began to offer the speed and storage capabilities required for practical implementation of image processing algorithms. Since then, this area has experienced vigorous growth, having been a subject of interdisciplinary research in fields ranging from engineering and computer science to biology, chemistry, and medicine.

In this paper, we present efficient geometric algorithms for the discrete constrained 1-D K-means clustering problem and extend our solutions to the continuous version of the problem. One key clustering constraint we consider is that the maximum difference in each cluster cannot be larger than a given threshold. These constrained 1-D K-means clustering problems appear in various applications, especially in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Our algorithms improve the efficiency and accuracy of the heuristic approaches used in clinical IMRT treatment planning.
