: This paper presents a new clustering method based on Renyi entropy. The proposed method maximizes entropy of clusters using between and within clusters entropies. It is a top-down multi-resolution method and uses the initial clusters found by Fuzzy C Means. Applications of the proposed algorithm on the synthetic data are compared with those of C-Means and Gustafson-Kessel algorithms. Results show superiority of the proposed algorithm to these methods.
