A Web-Based Visual Spatial Co-Location Patterns´ Mining Prototype System (SCPMiner)

Visual spatial data mining is an effective way to discover knowledge from huge amounts of spatial data. The systematic study and development of visual spatial data mining techniques will facilitate the promotion and use of spatial data mining as a tool for spatial data analysis. This paper introduces a Web-based visual spatial co-location patterns´ mining prototype system (SCPMiner). In SCPMiner, there not only are data management function and four co-location mining methods, but also co-location mining methods analysis and co-location mining applications.
