A novel spatial clustering with obstacles constraints based on PNPSO and k-medoids

In this paper, we propose a novel Spatial Clustering with Obstacles Constraints (SCOC) based on Dynamic Piecewise Linear Chaotic Map and Dynamic Nonlinear Particle Swarm Optimization (PNPSO) and K-Medoids, which is called PNPKSCOC. The contrastive experiments show that PNPKSCOC is effective and has better practicalities, and it performs better than PSO K-Medoids SCOC in terms of quantization error and has higher constringency speed than Genetic K-Medoids SCOC.
