Detecting reaction movement patterns in trajectory data
Michael Merki, Patrick Olivier Laube · Zurich Open Repository and Archive (University of Zurich) · 2012
Movement patterns structure large trajectory data sets and allow a better understanding of the dynamics amongst moving objects. This paper proposes patterns that model the reaction behavior between two individuals of different types of moving objects, as in predator- prey or female-male behavior patterns. Inspired by behavioral ecology, reaction movement patterns for pursuit and escape, avoidance, and confrontation are conceptualized, formalized, and algorithmically detected. The approach is evaluated through a set of numerical experiments with simulated and observed trajectory data.
