XFastDataLab/NQDBSCAN

NQDBSCAN is a fast clustering algorithm based on pruning unnecessary distance computations in DBSCAN for high-dimensional data. we propose a novel local neighborhood searching technique, and apply it to improve DBSCAN, named as NQ-DBSCAN, such that a large number of unnecessary distance computations can be effectively reduced. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that NQ-DBSCAN averagely runs in O(n∗log(n)) with the help of indexing technique, and the best case is O(n) if proper parameters are used, which makes it suitable for many realtime data.
