Abstract

This paper presents a novel multiscale comparison method for three-dimensional trajectories. We propose to use the maxima of curvature instead of curvature zero-crossings (inflection points) for splitting a trajectory into subtrajectories (segments), so that a segment-based multiscale matching scheme can be applied for three-dimensional trajectories whose curvature is by nature sign-less. We demonstrate on the synthetic data and medical data that our method could successfully capture the structural similarity of three-dimensional trajectories.
