Claim One:
1. A method comprising: causing reception of location data, wherein the location data is organized into a plurality of sets, each set comprised of a plurality of location points; generating a plurality of mini-clusters, each mini-cluster comprised of a first location point from a first set and one or more subsequent location points, wherein each subsequent location point is located within a predetermined distance of the first location point, wherein the first location point representing a center of the mini-cluster shifts as one or more additional location points are added to the mini-cluster; generating a histogram for each of a plurality of clusters, each cluster of a predetermined distance and comprising one or more mini-clusters within the distance, wherein each bin of the histogram represents a fraction of a maximum cluster size; generating a feature vector for each cluster, the feature vector comprising normalized values representing each of the bins of the histogram; and distinguishing whether one or more clusters represent a specified object based on the feature vector.
