In recent research, supervised image clustering based on Graph Neural Networks (GNN) connectivity prediction has demonstrated considerable improvements over traditional clustering algorithms. However, existing supervised image clustering algorithms are usually time-consuming and limit their applications. In order to infer the connectivity between image instances, they usually created a subgraph for each image instance. Due to the creation and process of a large number of subgraphs as the input of GNN, the computation overheads are enormous. To address the high computation overhead problem in the GNN connectivity prediction, we present a time-efficient and effective GNN-based supervised clustering framework based on density division namely DDC-GNN. DDC-GNN divides all image instances into high-density parts and low-density parts, and only performs GNN subgraph connectivity prediction on the low-density parts, resulting in a significant reduction in redundant calculations. We test two typical models in the GNN connectivity prediction module in the DDC-GNN framework, which are the graph convolutional networks (GCN)-based model and the graph auto-encoder (GAE)-based model. Meanwhile, adaptive subgraphs are generated to ensure sufficient contextual information extraction for low-density parts instead of the fixed-size subgraphs. According to the experiments on different datasets, DDC-GNN achieves higher accuracy and is almost five times quicker than those without the density division strategy.
