One of the major issues in data cluster analysis is to decide the number of clusters or groups from a set of unlabeled data. In addition, the presentation of cluster should be analyzed to provide the accuracy of clustering objects. This paper propose a new method called Enhanced-Dark Block Extraction (E-DBE), which automatically identifies the number of objects groups in unlabeled datasets. The proposed algorithm relies on the available algorithm for visual assessment of cluster tendency of a dataset, by using several common signal and image processing techniques. The method includes the following steps: 1.Generating an Enhanced Visual Assessment Tendency (E-VAT) image from a dissimilarity matrix which is the input for E-DBE algorithm. 2. Processing image segmentation on E-VAT image to obtain a binary image then performs filter techniques. 3. Performing distance transformation to the filtered binary image and projecting the pixels in the main diagonal alignment of the image to figure a projection signal. 4. Smoothing the outcrop signal, computing its first-order derivative and then detecting major peaks and valleys in the resulting signal to acquire the number of clusters. E-DBE is a parameter-free algorithm to perform cluster analysis. Experiments of the method are presented on several UCI, synthetic and real world datasets
