Abstract

Spatial Pattern Matching (SPM) is used in various location-based services. SPM usually returns many matches which maybe overlap due to continuous geographic space, while users tend towards diversified top-k matches. Furthermore, existing algorithms to find all matches is low efficient. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes an efficient approximate algorithm DivMatch to attain diversified top-k matches. Firstly, we introduce two metrics \( N_{spatial}\) and \(D_{spatial} \) to measure the nearness between a match and a query location, and the diversity between two matches. Based on the two metrics, we define an objective function F to select diversified top-k matches. Then, we present an approximate algorithm to efficiently find k matches which maximize the objective function based on level-by-level searching strategy. Experiment results on four real datasets show that DivMatch is more effective and efficient than the algorithm IncMatch.
