Abstract

In this paper, a more effective Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO) method for Spatial Clustering with Obstacles Constraints (SCOC) is presented. In the process of doing so, we first proposed a novel Spatial Obstructed Distance using QPSO based on Grid model (QPGSOD) to obtain obstructed distance, and then we developed a new QPKSCOC based on QPSO and K-Medoids to cluster spatial data with obstacles constraints. The contrastive experiments show that QPGSOD is effective, and QPKSCOC can not only give attention to higher local constringency speed and stronger global optimum search, but also get down to the obstacles constraints and practicalities of spatial clustering; and it performs better than Improved K-Medoids SCOC (IKSCOC) in terms of quantization error and has higher constringency speed than Genetic K-Medoids SCOC.
