DBSCAN Clustering Algorithm C# Implementation

It is a small project that I implemented DBSCAN Clustering algorithm in C#.

For using this you only need to define your own dataset class and create DbscanAlgorithm class to perform clustering. After that only call the ComputeClusterDbscan with desired clustering parameter.

Example:

Your dataset items (preference, feature, vector, row, etc.):

public class MyCustomDatasetItem : DatasetItemBase
{
    public double X;
    public double Y;

    public MyCustomDatasetItem(double x, double y)
    {
        X = x;
        Y = y;
    }
}

Then for clustering

MyCustomDatasetItem[] featureData = _clusterRepository.GetPointsToBeClustered();
HashSet<MyCustomDatasetItem[]> clusters;

//set the metric function for clustering distance computation.
var dbscan = new DbscanAlgorithm<MyCustomDatasetItem>((x, y) => Math.Sqrt(((x.X - y.X) * (x.X - y.X)) + ((x.Y - y.Y) * (x.Y - y.Y))));

//loads clusters parameter with set of points
dbscan.ComputeClusterDbscan(allPoints: featureData, epsilon: .01, minPts: 10, clusters: out clusters);
