Hello,
I am a novice researcher in the field of clustering algorithms. DBSCAN was the one which its mathematical background draw my attention to itself but unfortunately, except biological- and medical-oriented fields, I couldn't imagine any other use cases for the algorithm. I would appreciate if anyone introduce me some useful resources which DBSCAN is used in fields except medical or biological ones. According to my bachelor degree (Industrial Engineering), I'm particularly looking for industrial and manufacturing instances.
Regards.
The DBSCAN algorithm used to find associations and structures in data that are hard to find manually but that can be relevant and useful to find patterns and predict trends.

Dear Seyyed Mohammad Mahdi Bahadornia ,
Let’s think in a practical use of DBSCAN. Suppose we have an e-commerce and we want to improve our sales by recommending relevant products to our customers. We don’t know exactly what our customers are looking for but based on a data set we can predict and recommend a relevant product to a specific customer. We can apply the DBSCAN to our data set (based on the e-commerce database) and find clusters based on the products that the users have bought. Using this clusters we can find similarities between customers, for example, the customer A have bought 1 pen, 1 book and 1 scissors and the customer B have bought 1 book and 1 scissors, then we can recommend 1 pen to the customer B. This is just a little example of use of DBSCAN, but it can be used in a lot of applications in several areas.
Dear Mohammed Kemal ,
I really appreciate your valuable answer. Due to my perception, it's also useful in pattern recognition and pattern mining related issues. Am I right?
