Clusterization methods in detecting the restricted areas for sea transport

Clusterization is one of the data mining techniques which is responsible for classifying data. Selection of the proper parameters leads to some desired clusters behavior. Th is fact can be used in detecting the restricted areas for ships and other units. Th e allowed area can be marked as a data cluster and vice versa. Th e other advantage is the fact that each cluster consists of the set of points which can be used to fi nd the shortest path in given area. In this paper the use of clusterization in detecting restricted areas is described. Few methods are analyzed and the conclusions presented.
