Abstract

The ACM SIGSPATIAL Cup 2013 is about geo-fencing, a problem of determining whether sampled location points fall inside or within a certain distance from virtual perimeters for real-world geographic areas. This paper describes one of the winning submissions of the competition. The approach applies two novel techniques, namely Trajectory Partitioning (TP) and Boundary Simplification (BS). TP partitions the movement trajectory of an object into segments and processes the points within the same segment simultaneously. BS simplifies the polygons thus accelerates the geo-fencing process.
