A semantics-based method for density-based clustering with constraints imposed by geographical background knowledge is proposed. In this paper, we apply an ontological approach to the DBSCAN (Density-Based Geospatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) algorithm in the form of knowledge representation for constraint clustering. When used in the process of clustering geographic information, s...

Mining knowledge from large amounts of spatial data is known as spatial data mining. It becomes a highly demanding field because huge amounts of spatial data have been collected in various applications ranging from geo-spatial data to bio-medical knowledge. The amount of spatial data being collected is increasing exponentially. So, it far exceeded human’s ability to analyze. Recently, clusterin...

Malware Classification has been a challenging problem in the recent past and several researchers have attempted to solve this problem using various tools. It is security threat which can break machine operation while not knowing user’s data and it's tough to spot its behavior. This paper proposes a novel technique using DBSCAN (Density based Kmeans) algorithmic rule to spot the behavior of malw...

The advancement in digital technology and World Wide Web has increased the usage of digital documents being used for various purposes like epublishing, digital library. Increase in number of text documents requires efficient techniques that can help during searching and retrieval. Document clustering is one such technique which automatically organizes text documents into meaningful groups. This...

DBSCAN is a base algorithm for density based clustering. It can detect the clusters of different shapes and sizes from the large amount of data which contains noise and outliers. However, it is fail to handle the local density variation that exists within the cluster. In this paper, we propose a density varied DBSCAN algorithm which is capable to handle local density variation within the cluste...

Cluster analysis of aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ATOFMS) data has been an effective tool for the identification of possible sources of ambient aerosols. In this study, the clustering results of two typical methods, adaptive resonance theory-based neural networks-2a (ART-2a) and density-based clustering of application with noise (DBSCAN), on ATOFMS data were investigated by employin...

Data mining is playing a vital role in various application fields. One important issue in data mining is clustering, which is a process of grouping data with high similarity. Density-based clustering is an effective method that can find clusters in arbitrary shapes in feature space, and DBSCAN (Density-Based Algorithm for Discovering Clusters in Large Spatial Databases with Noise) is a basic on...

Abstract In bearings-only localization, clustering-based methods have been widely used to remove spurious intersections by fusing multiple bearing measurements from different observation stations. Existing clustering methods, including fuzzy C-mean (FCM) and density-based spatial of applications with noise (DBSCAN), must specify the number clusters threshold for defining neighborhood density, r...

Many scientific databases nowadays are publicly available for querying and advanced data analytics. One prominent example is the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)—SkyServer, which offers data to astronomers, scientists, and the general public. For such data it is important to understand the public focus, and trending research directions on the subject described by the database, i.e., astronomy in...

The main purpose of this paper is to achieve improvement in the speed of Fuzzy Joint Points (FJP) algorithm. Since FJP approach is a basis for fuzzy neighborhood based clustering algorithms such as Noise-Robust FJP (NRFJP) and Fuzzy Neighborhood DBSCAN (FN-DBSCAN), improving FJP algorithm would an important achievement in terms of these FJP-based methods. Although FJP has many advantages such a...
