To better maintain the geometric similarity between the compressed trajectory and the original trajectory, this paper proposes a trajectory compression method based on Fréchet distance. This method selects the characteristic points of the trajectory based on the Fréchet distance, and keeps the similarity of the geometric shape characteristics of the compressed trajectory and the original trajectory. Compared with the traditional DP (Douglas-Peucker) algorithm and the TD-TR (Top-Down Time-Ratio) algorithm, the method in this paper can obtain better geometric similarity between the compressed trajectory and the original trajectory. At the same time, better visualization of trajectory data is obtained.
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.
