Abstract

With the development of location based applications, more and more personal trajectory is recorded by the application providers, and it brings opportunities and challenges for mining potential information from trajectory data. In this paper, the correlation between users is explored from the trajectory data. Firstly, we preprocess original trajectory by sub-trajectory matching. Secondly, we analyze the factors in trajectory data that reflect the users’ close relationship, and quantify these factors to measure the correlation relationship between users. Then we propose mining algorithm by using these factors to mining the similar trajectories, and we also improve the algorithm efficiency by using a formula filtering method. Moreover, we use sigmoid function to express the intimacy degree between users so that it is more sensitive when the correlation is relatively small. Finally, the performance of our algorithm is evaluated by the experiment and the validity of our algorithm is verified.
