A Robust Trajectory Similarity Measure Method for Classical Trajectory

Abstract

In view of the great difference between classical trajectory and real-time trajectory, a robust trajectory similarity measurement method is proposed based on the longest common subsequence theory. Firstly, the distance between point and line segment is used to judge whether the point of classical trajectory is consistent with the line segment of real-time trajectory. Secondly, the longest common subsequence length between classical trajectory and real-time trajectory is calculated by using the improved multi-to-one longest common subsequence algorithm. Finally, the ratio of the longest common subsequence length to the number of points of the classical trajectory is taken as the similarity between the classical trajectory and the real-time trajectory. Experiments show that the algorithm is robust and can effectively solve the problem of similarity measurement between the classical trajectories and real-time trajectories.
