Cluster analysis is a widely used technique for grouping a set of objects into classes of "similar" objects and commonly used in many fields such as data mining, bioinformatics and pattern recognition. WaveCluster defines the notion of cluster as a dense region consisting of connected components in the transformed feature space. In this study, we present the implementation of WaveCluster algorithm as a novel clustering approach based on wavelet transform to GPU level parallelization and investigate the parallel performance for very large spatial datasets. The CUDA implementations of two main sub-algorithms of WaveCluster approach; namely extraction of low-frequency component from the signal using wavelet transform and connected component labeling are presented. Then, the corresponding performance evaluations are reported for each sub-algorithm. Divide and conquer approach is followed on the implementation of wavelet transform and multi-pass sliding window approach on the implementation of connected component labeling. The maximum achieved speedup is found in kernel as 107x in the computation of extraction of the low-frequency component and 6x in the computation of connected component labeling with respect to the sequential algorithms running on the CPU.
