Abstract. In this paper, we describe an efficient indexing method for a shape-based similarity search of the trajectory of dynamically changing locations of people and mobile objects. In order to manage trajectories in database systems, we define a data model of trajectories as directed lines in a space, and the similarity between trajectories is defined as the Euclidean distance between directed discrete lines. Our proposed similarity query can be used to find interested patterns embedded into the trajectories, for example, the trajectories of mobile cars in a city may include patterns for expecting traffic jams. Furthermore, we propose an efficient indexing method to retrieve similar trajectories for a query by combining a spatial indexing technique (R + -Tree) and a dimension reduction technique, which is called PAA (Piecewise Approximate Aggregate). The indexing method can efficiently retrieve trajectories whose shape in a space is similar to the shape of a candidate trajectory from the database.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
