Abstract

PixelMaps are a new pixel-oriented visual data miningtechnique for large spatial datasets. They combine kernel-density-based clustering with pixel-oriented displays to emphasizeclusters while avoiding overlap in locally densepoint sets on maps. Because a full evaluation of densityfunctions is prohibitively expensive, we also propose an efficientapproximation, Fast-PixelMap, based on a synthesisof the quadtree and gridfile data structures.
