This document discusses density-based clustering algorithms DBSCAN and OPTICS. DBSCAN clusters points based on density connectivity, defining clusters as areas of high density connected by chains of points with smaller neighborhoods. It directly assigns points to clusters or noise. OPTICS produces a special ordering of points based on density, representing the intrinsic clustering structure without predefined number of clusters. It extends DBSCAN to process points in a specific order based on lowest density reachability.
