摘要:
Described is a technology by which uploaded GPS data is indexed according to spatio-temporal relationships to facilitate efficient insertion and retrieval. The indexes may be converted to significantly smaller-sized data structures when new updates to that structure are not likely. GPS data is processed into a track of spatially-partitioned segments such that each segment has a cell. Each cell has an associated temporal index (a compressed start-end tree), into which data for that cell's segments are inserted. The temporal index may include an end time index that relates each segment's end time to a matching start time index. Given query input comprising a spatial predicate and a temporal predicate, tracks may be searched for by determining which spatial candidate cells may contain matching results. For each candidate cell, the search accesses the cell's associated temporal index to find any track or tracks that correspond to the temporal predicate.

Method for determining similarities between a first user and a second user in a network, including receiving one or more Global Positioning System (GPS) logs from each user in the network, constructing a first hierarchal graph for the first user's GPS log and a second hierarchical graph for the second user's GPS log, and calculating a similarity score between the first user and the second user based on the first hierarchal graph and the second hierarchical graph.

The use of data from multiple data source provides inferred air quality indices with respect to a particular pollutant for multiple areas without the addition of air quality monitor stations to those areas. Labeled air quality index data for a pollutant in a region may be obtained from one or more air quality monitor stations. Spatial features for the region may be extracted from spatially-related data for the region. The spatially-related data may include information on fixed infrastructures in the region. Likewise, temporal features for the region may be extracted from temporally-related data for the region that changes over time. A co-training based learning framework may be further applied to co-train a spatial classifier and a temporal classifier based at least on the labeled air quality index data, the spatial features for the region, and the temporal features for the region.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are one or more embodiments that arrange a plurality of location entities into a hierarchy of location descriptors. One or more of the disclosed embodiments may determine whether one of the location entities is a spatial outlier based at least in part on presence of one or more other location entities within a predetermined distance of the one location entity. Also, the other location entities and the one location entity may share a location descriptor.

Method for making a recommendation to a first user in a computing network, including calculating one or more similarity scores between the first user and one or more remaining users in the network, identifying a portion of the remaining users having a highest similarity scores, identifying one or more locations visited by the portion of the remaining users but not by the first user, determining an interest level of the first user in each location, ranking the locations based on the interest levels, and displaying the locations based on the ranking as a first recommendation.
摘要:
Interesting location identification embodiments are presented that generally involve identifying and providing the interesting locations found in a given geospatial region. This is accomplished by modeling the location histories of multiple individuals who traveled through the region of interest, and identifying interesting locations in the region based on the number of individuals visiting a location weighted in terms of the travel experience of those individuals. A prescribed number of the top most interesting locations in a specified region can be provided upon request. In addition, prescribed numbers of the top most popular travel sequences through the interesting locations and the top most experienced travelers in the specified region can be provided as well.

摘要:
Described is a technology by which raw GPS data is processed into segments of a trip, with a predicted mode of transportation (e.g., walking, car, bus, bicycling) determined for each segment. The determined transportation modes may be used to tag the GPS data with transportation mode information, and/or dynamically used. Segments are first characterized as walk segments or non-walk segments based on velocity and/or acceleration. Features corresponding to each of those walk segments or non-walk segments are extracted, and analyzed with an inference model to determine probabilities for the possible modes of transportation for each segment. Post-processing may be used to modify the probabilities based on transitioning considerations with respect to the transportation mode of an adjacent segment. The most probable transportation mode for each segment is selected.
