Cluster Recognition Program - Progress Towards an Unbiased
Detection and Analysis of Clusters

Having developed and tested a systematic and unbiased method
of cluster detection I present, in this poster, the method and the
results of this work. In order to make statistically sound affirmations
on the properties of young stellar clusters one needs to study a large
number of these clusters and to do so in an identical way so as to make
their results suitable for comparison. The method developed had that
specific goal. Furthermore, so as to not have a biased sample, we
removed identification-by-eye and subtituted it with a more robust
method.
