Before revision: Existing methods that aim to automatically cluster data into physically meaningful subsets typically require assumptions regarding the number, size, or shape of the coherent subgroups. We present a new method, simultaneous Coherent Structure Coloring (sCSC), which accomplishes the task of unsupervised clustering without a priori guidance regarding the underlying structure of the data.
