@spatial/clusters-dbscan

clustersDbscan

Takes a set of points and partition them into clusters according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBSCAN data clustering algorithm.

Parameters

• points FeatureCollection<Point> to be clustered
• maxDistance number Maximum Distance between any point of the cluster to generate the clusters (kilometers only)
• options Object Optional parameters (optional, default {})
  • options.units string in which maxDistance is expressed, can be degrees, radians, miles, or kilometers (optional, default kilometers)
  • options.minPoints number Minimum number of points to generate a single cluster, points which do not meet this requirement will be classified as an 'edge' or 'noise'. (optional, default 3)

Examples

// create random points with random z-values in their properties
var points = turf.randomPoint(100, {bbox: [0, 30, 20, 50]});
var maxDistance = 100;
var clustered = turf.clustersDbscan(points, maxDistance);

//addToMap
var addToMap = [clustered];

Returns FeatureCollection<Point> Clustered Points with an additional two properties associated to each Feature:- {number} cluster - the associated clusterId

• {string} dbscan - type of point it has been classified as ('core'|'edge'|'noise')
