Summary:A process for determining and labeling areas of interest, including steps for receiving a plurality of data points from a plurality of users, each data point received at a particular time, determining a user location for each of the plurality of data points and generating a heat map from the plurality of data points, wherein the heat map represents a population density distribution over a geographic area divided into a plurality of cells. In certain aspects, the process further includes steps for identifying at least one cluster of cells within the geographic, generating a bounded polygon for the at least one cluster of cells and storing the at least one cluster of cells and its corresponding bounded polygon as an area of interest in a geographical information system. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
