Abstract

The issue of standardized generation scheme of spatio- temporal datasets is a research area of growing importance. In case of the lack of large real datasets, especially, benchmarking spatio-temporal database requires the generation of synthetic datasets simulating the real-word behavior of spatial objects that move and evolve over time. Recently, a few studies have been conducted on the generation of artificial datasets from a different point of view. For more realistic datasets, this paper proposes a novel framework, called state-based movement framework (SMF) to provide more generalized framework for both describing and generating the movement of complexly moving objects which simulate the movement of real-life objects. Based on Markov chain model, a well-known stochastic model, the proposed model classifies the whole trajectory of a moving object into a set of movement state. From some illustrative examples, we show that the proposed scheme is able to generate various realistic datasets with respect to the given input parameters.
