Recent advances in geopositioning mobile phones have made it possible for users to collect a large number of GPS trajectories by recording their location information. However, these mobile phones with built-in GPS devices usually record far more data than needed, which brings about both heavy data storage and a computationally expensive burden in the rendering process for a Web browser. To address this practical problem, we present a fast polygonal approximation algorithm in 2-D space for the GPS trajectory simplification under the so-called integral square synchronous distance error criterion in a linear time complexity. The underlying algorithm is designed and implemented using a bottom–up multiresolution method, where the input of polygonal approximation in the coarser resolution is the polygonal curve achieved in the finer resolution. For each resolution (map scale), priority-queue structure is exploited in graph construction to construct the initialized approximated curve. Once the polygonal curve is initialized, two fine-tune algorithms are employed in order to achieve the desirable quality level. Experimental results validated that the proposed algorithm is fast and achieves a better approximation result than the existing competitive methods.

Abstract. Location data generated from GPS equipped moving objects are typically collected as streams of spatiotemporal 〈x, y, t 〉 points that when put together form corresponding trajectories. Most existing studies focus on building ad-hoc querying, analysis, as well as data mining techniques on formed trajectories. As a prior step, trajectory construction is evidently necessary for mobility data processing and understanding, including tasks like trajectory data cleaning, compression, and segmentation so as to identify semantic trajectory episodes like stops (e.g. while sitting and standing) and moves (while jogging, walking, driving etc). However, semantic trajectory construction methods in the current literature are typically based on offline procedures, which is not sufficient for real life trajectory applications that rely on timely delivery of computed trajectories to serve real-time query answers. Filling this gap, our paper proposes a platform, namely SeTraStream, for online semantic trajectory construction. Our framework is capable of providing real-time trajectory data cleaning, compression, segmentation over streaming movement data. 1

We consider an environment of numerous moving objects, equipped with location-sensing devices and capable of communicating to a central coordinator. In this setting, we investigate the problem of maintaining hot motion paths, i.e., routes frequently followed by multiple objects over the recent past. Motion paths approximate portions of objects’ movement within a tolerance margin that depends on the uncertainty inherent in positional measurements. Discovery of hot motion paths is important to applications requiring classification/profiling based on monitored movement patterns, such as targeted advertising, resource allocation, etc. To achieve this goal, we delegate part of the path extraction process to objects, by assigning to them adaptive lightweight filters that dynamically suppress unnecessary location updates and thus, help reducing communication overhead. We demonstrate the benefits of our methods and their efficiency through extensive experiments on synthetic data sets. 1.

Abstract: Enormous amounts of GPS trajectories, which record users ' spatial and temporal information, are collected by geo-positioning mobile phones in recent years. The massive volumes of trajectory data bring about heavy burdens for both network transmission and data storage. To overcome these difficulties, a number of compression algorithms have been proposed by reducing the number of points in the trajectory data. But these algorithms lack a rigorous investigation on how to encode the reduced trajectories. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that optimizes both the trajectory simplification and the coding procedure using the quantized data. The underlying algorithm is also compared with the existing methods across 640 trajectories from Microsoft Geolife dataset using synchronous Euclidean distance (SED) as the error metrics. Experimental results show that the proposed method saves 60 % of compression cost against the current state of the art compression algorithms. 1.

Abstract. We consider a setting with numerous location-aware mov-ing objects that communicate with a central server. Assuming a set of focal points of interest, we aim at continuously monitoring object orien-tations and hence detect situations where many objects get closer to or move away from any such site. Towards this goal, we propose a streaming approach that delegates part of the processing to objects, which relay po-sitional updates upon significant deviations at their course. The central processor maintains the changing distribution of current object headings around each focal point and may issue alerts once it observes many ob-jects moving along a direction (e.g., increased northbound traffic near the stadium). To efficiently answer such navigational queries, we intro-duce a novel access method that indexes object headings influencing a specific site. Furthermore, we extent this scheme to examine trajectory movements around sites over the recent past. Experimental results verify that this framework is able to cope with scalable numbers of objects at reduced communication cost, while offering instant notification of impor-tant trends along diverse directions for multiple focal points. 1

Abstract. Massive data streams of positional updates become increasingly difficult to manage under limited memory resources, especially in terms of providing near real-time response to multiple continuous queries. In this paper, we consider online maintenance for spatiotemporal summaries of streaming positions in an aging-aware fashion, by gradually evicting older observations in favor of greater precision for the most recent portions of movement. Although several amnesic functions have been proposed for approximation of time series, we opt for a simple, yet quite efficient scheme that achieves contiguity along all retained stream pieces. To this end, we adapt an amnesic tree structure that effectively meets the requirements of time-decaying approximation while taking advantage of the succession inherent in positional updates. We further exemplify the significance of this scheme in two important cases: the first one refers to trajectory compression of individual objects; the other offers estimated aggregates of moving object locations across time. Both techniques are validated with comprehensive experiments, confirming their suitability in maintaining online concise synopses for moving objects. 1

We report on our experience from design and implementation of a powerful map application for managing, querying and visualizing evolving locations of moving objects. Instead of building a special-ized spatiotemporal database, we have chosen to retain geographic information in a renowned stream processing engine with native support for spatial features. Through a graphical interface, users are able to specify typical continuous queries (such as range, dis-tance, or nearest neighbor search), and receive incremental results. Moreover, this application offers capabilities for visual display of objects ’ trajectories and online collection of movement statistics.

Trajectories of moving objects are collected in many applications. Raw trajectory data is typically very large, and has to be simplified before use. In this paper, we introduce the notion of directionpreserving trajectory simplification, and show both analytically and empirically that it can support a broader range of applications than traditional position-preserving trajectory simplification. We present a polynomial-time algorithm for optimal directionpreserving simplification, and another approximate algorithm with a quality guarantee. Extensive experimental evaluation with real trajectory data shows the benefit of the new techniques. 1.

Positioning data are usually acquired periodically and uploaded to the server via wireless network in the location data acquisition systems. Huge communication overheads between the terminal and the server and heavy loads of storage space are needed when a large number of data points are uploaded. To this end, an online compression algorithm for positioning data acquisition is proposed, which compresses data by reducing the number of uploaded positioning points. Error threshold can be set according to users ’ needs. Feature points are extracted to upload real-timely by considering the changes of direction and speed. If necessary, an approximation trajectory can be obtained by using the proposed recovery algorithm based on the feature points on the server. Positioning data in three different travel modes, including walk, non-walk and mixed mode, are acquired to validate the efficiency of the algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can get appropriate compression rate in various road conditions and travel modes, and has better adaptability.
