Abstract

In this paper, we propose a multiscale comparison method for three-dimensional trajectories based on the maxima on the curvature scale space. We define a segment as a partial trajectory between two adjacent maxima where curvature becomes locally maximal. Then we trace the place of maxima across the scales in order to obtain the hierarchy of segments. By applying segment-based matching technique, we obtain the best correspondences between partial trajectories. We demonstrate in a preliminary experiment that our method could successfully capture the structural similarity of three-dimensional trajectories.
