Density-Based Spatial Clustering in the Presence of Obstacles and Facilitators
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a new spatial clustering method, called DBRS+, which aims to cluster spatial data in the presence of both obstacles and facilitators. It can handle datasets with intersected obstacles and facilitators. Without preprocessing, DBRS+ processes constraints during clustering. It can find clusters with arbitrary shapes and varying densities. DBRS+ has been empirically evaluated using synthetic and real data sets and its performance has been compared to DBRS, AUTOCLUST+, and DBCLuC*.

Most of the recent studies, which f...
متن کاملA Novel Artificial Immune Algorithm for Spatial Clustering with Obstacle Constraint and Its Applications
An important component of a spatial clustering algorithm is the distance measure between sample points in object space. In this paper, the traditional Euclidean distance measure is replaced with innovative obstacle distance measure for spatial clustering under obstacle constraints. Firstly, we present a path searching algorithm to approximate the obstacle distance between two points for dealing...
