Abstract: A data-clustering method generates data clusters for a set of data points. A region of interest containing the data points and a center matrix for the region of interest are defined, where the center matrix includes an array of center points defining centers of overlapping circles. The data points are mapped to corresponding circles based on near center points. Pairs of overlapping circles are merged based on relative numbers of data points lying in overlap regions of the pairs of overlapping circles compared to total numbers of data points within the corresponding circles. Circles belonging to the one or more data clusters are identified based on merged pairs of overlapping circles, and data points belonging to the one or more data clusters are identified based on the corresponding circles. The method may be performed by a computer having a heterogeneous architecture with parallel processors.
