Abstract
In this article, we present an algorithm based on R-tree structure to solve a clustering task in spatial data mining. The algorithm can apply to cluster not only point objects but also extended spatial objects such as lines and polygons. The experimental results show that our algorithm yields the same result as any other algorithm and accommodates to clustering task in spatial database.
