How to cluster a list of geographic points by distance?

Using Python 3, I would like to find a smallest set of clusters (disjoint subsets of P) such that every member of a cluster is within 20km of every other member in the cluster. Distance between two points is computed using the Vincenty method. To make this a little more concrete, suppose I have a set of points such as

How to find out which cluster a point falls inside?

Now use join attributes by location on your points layer to find out which cluster each point falls inside (using ‘within’/’take attributes of first selected feature’). Finally the Concave hull plugin.

What does cluster 1 look like as a concave Hull?

Here’s what cluster #1 looks like as a concave hull… So each point within that cluster is within 500m of another point in that cluster. Note that a point with no neighbours within 500m will probably have a concave hull which collapses to a point. And one with only one neighbour will probably have a concave hull which is a line.

How many polygons do you need for a cluster?

I have over 800,000 points which are spread across with some close to each other. I want to create polygons that cover points that are within 500m from each other, and lone ones will have a polygon of their own. Clarification: The clusters need to have a maximum specified radius.

Which is the best algorithm for clustering spatial data?

Instead, you could do this clustering job using scikit-learn’s DBSCAN with the haversine metric and ball-tree algorithm. This tutorial demonstrates clustering latitude-longitude spatial data with DBSCAN/haversine and avoids all those Euclidean-distance problems:

How to cluster spatial data with scikit-learn DBSCAN?

You can cluster spatial latitude-longitude data with scikit-learn’s DBSCAN without precomputing a distance matrix. This comes from this tutorial on clustering spatial data with scikit-learn DBSCAN.

How to cluster latitude and longitude data in Python?

A feature array, or array of distances between samples if metric=’precomputed’. You can cluster spatial latitude-longitude data with scikit-learn’s DBSCAN without precomputing a distance matrix. This comes from this tutorial on clustering spatial data with scikit-learn DBSCAN.
