Index-supported pattern matching on symbolic trajectories
Fabio Valdés, Ralf Hartmut Güting · 2014
Recording mobility data with GPS-enabled devices, e.g., smart phones or vehicles, has become a common issue for private persons, companies, and institutions. Consequently, the requirements for managing these enormous datasets have increased drastically, so trajectory management has become an active research field. In order to avoid querying raw trajectories, which is neither convenient nor efficient, a symbolic representation of the geometric data has been introduced.
