ABSTRACT
Trajectory similarity computation is very important for trajectory data mining. It is applied into many trajectory mining tasks, including trajectory clustering, trajectory classification and trajectory search etc. So efficient trajectory similarity computation method is very useful for improving trajectory mining result. Nowadays many trajectory similarity computation methods have been proposed. But most of them can not be applied into long trajectories similarity calculation efficiently. So a new algorithm called TrajGAT is proposed. This algorithm can calculate similarity for long trajectories. It treats long trajectory as a long sequence. By doing so, long-term dependency of long trajectory is considered by this algorithm while computing similarity value. But, the spatial feature of long trajectories is not considered. As long trajectory can be presented in many different shapes, if two long trajectories are judged as similar trajectories, the outline shape of these two trajectories should be similar as well. To solve this problem, a new trajectory similarity computation method is proposed in this paper. This method not only takes the long-term dependence feature into consideration, but also considers the outline feature of long trajectory. The proposed method employs GAT-based transformer to extract long-term dependence feature from long trajectory. And it applies Convolutional Neural Network to extract outline feature.
