DBSCAN: Density-Based Spatial Clustering

Discover clusters based on density. DBSCAN automatically finds clusters of arbitrary shapes and identifies outliers without needing to specify the number of clusters.

Dataset

Algorithm

Parameters

ε (epsilon): neighborhood radius
MinPts: minimum points for dense region

Point Types

• Core: ≥MinPts neighbors within ε
• Border: <MinPts neighbors, reachable from core
• Noise: not reachable from any core

Clustering

Connect density-reachable core points and their borders into clusters.
