Faster DBScan and HDBScan in Low-Dimensional Euclidean Spaces

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 R^2, irrespective of the scale parameter \eps, but assuming the second parameter MinPts is set to a fixed constant, as is the case in practice.
We also present an O(n log n) randomized algorithm for HDBScan in the plane---HDBScans is a hierarchical version of DBScan introduced recently---and we show how to compute an approximate version of HDBScan in near-linear time in any fixed dimension.
