The objective of this article is to develop a methodology for selecting the appropriate number of clusters to group and identify human postures using neural networks with unsupervised self-organizing maps. Although unsupervised clustering algorithms have proven effective in recognizing human postures, many works are limited to testing which data are correctly or incorrectly recognized. They often neglect the task of selecting the appropriate number of groups (where the number of clusters corresponds to the number of output neurons, i.e., the number of postures) using clustering quality assessments. The use of quality scores to determine the number of clusters frees the expert to make subjective decisions about the number of postures, enabling the use of unsupervised learning. Due to high dimensionality and data variability, expert decisions (referred to as data labeling) can be difficult and time-consuming. In our case, there is no manual labeling step. We introduce a new clustering quality score: the discriminant score (DS). We describe the process of selecting the most suitable number of postures using human activity records captured by RGB-D cameras. Comparative studies on the usefulness of popular clustering quality scores—such as the silhouette coefficient, Dunn index, Calinski–Harabasz index, Davies–Bouldin index, and DS—for posture classification tasks are presented, along with graphical illustrations of the results produced by DS. The findings show that DS offers good quality in posture recognition, effectively following postural transitions and similarities.
