An algorithm to identify avoidance behavior in moving object trajectories

Journal of the Brazilian Computer Society volume 17, pages 193–203 (2011)Cite this article

Abstract

Research on trajectory behavior has increased significantly in the last few years. The focus has been on the search for patterns considering the movement of the moving object in space and time, essentially looking for similar geometric properties and dense regions. This paper proposes an algorithm to detect a new kind of behavior pattern that identifies when a moving object is avoiding specific spatial regions, such as security cameras. This behavior pattern is called avoidance. The algorithm was evaluated with real trajectory data and achieved very good results.
