This paper generalizes traditional density-based spatial clustering of points to lines in high-dimensional spaces. Since there is no valid distance measure that satisfies the triangle inequality for lines, a customised neighbourhood algorithm is designed for each line with a fixed volume. The algorithm is robust to outliers and can identify noise using a cardinality parameter. One significant application is clustering n-dimensional data points with missing entries, leveraging domain knowledge. Our algorithm clusters data points containing at least (n-1)-dimensional information. We illustrate the neighbourhoods for standard probability distributions and demonstrate effectiveness on synthetic and real-world datasets like rail and road networks.

This paper is about clustering lines in high-dimensional spaces. It’s a new way to group similar lines together based on their density. The algorithm is good at ignoring noise and outliers, which can help with clustering incomplete data points. For example, imagine you have data about roads and highways, but some sections are missing. This algorithm could be used to fill in the gaps while keeping the important information. We tested it on real-world datasets like road networks and showed it works well.
