st-dbscan 0.1.5

Spatial-temporal DBSCAN

ST-DBSCAN

Simple and effective method for spatial-temporal clustering

st_dbscan is an open-source software package for the spatial-temporal clustering of movement data:

• Implemnted using numpy and sklearn
• Scales to memory - using chuncking see st_dbscan.fit_frame_split

Installation

The easiest way to install st_dbscan is by using pip :

pip install st-dbscan

How to use

from st_dbscan import ST_DBSCAN

st_dbscan = ST_DBSCAN(eps1 = 0.05, eps2 = 10, min_samples = 5)
st_dbscan.fit(data)

• Demo Notebook: the following noteboook shows a demo of common features in this package - see Jupyter Notebook
