Class SpatiallySeparate<T>

Object

org.anchoranalysis.spatial.rtree.SpatiallySeparate<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the element-type in the collection.

public class SpatiallySeparate<T>
extends Object

Splits a collection of elements into spatially separate clusters.

Each element must provide a corresponding bounding-box.

Any objects whose bounding-boxes intersect belong to the same cluster, but otherwise not.

This is similar to a simplified DBSCAN algorithm.
