Faster DB-scan and HDB-scan in Low-Dimensional Euclidean Spaces
(1702.08607)Abstract
We present a new algorithm for the widely used density-based clustering method DBscan. Our algorithm computes the DBscan-clustering in $O(n\log n)$ time in $\mathbb{R}2$, irrespective of the scale parameter $\varepsilon$ (and assuming the second parameter MinPts is set to a fixed constant, as is the case in practice). Experiments show that the new algorithm is not only fast in theory, but that a slightly simplified version is competitive in practice and much less sensitive to the choice of $\varepsilon$ than the original DBscan algorithm. We also present an $O(n\log n)$ randomized algorithm for HDBscan in the planeHDBscan is a hierarchical version of DBscan introduced recentlyand we show how to compute an approximate version of HDBscan in near-linear time in any fixed dimension.
