Abstract

Within the mobility mining discipline, several solutions for the classification of spatio-temporal trajectories have been proposed. However, they usually do not fully consider the particularities of trajectories from human-generated data like online social networks. For that reason, this work introduces a novel classifier based on Support Vector Machines (SVM), which fits the low resolution of this type of geographic data. This solution is applied in a use case for the detection of tourist mobility exhibiting quite promising results.
