Abstract

Similarity query is one of the most important operations in trajectory databases and this paper addresses this problem in RFID trajectory databases. Due to the special sensing manner, the model of RFID trajectory is different from the traditional trajectory, leading to the inefficiency of existing techniques. This paper proposes a novel distance function--EDEU(Edit Distance combined with Euclidean Distance), which supports the local time shifting and takes the distance between adjacent logic areas into consideration. We also develop two filter-refinement mechanisms based on Co-occurrence Degree and Length Dispersion Ratio to improve the efficiency of the similarity analysis. Furthermore, we extend our solution to determine the local similarity from the global dissimilarity trajectory pairs. The extensive experiments verify the efficiency of our proposed algorithms.
