Abstract: Because the existing trajectory clustering algorithms in the similarity measurement usually used the spatial characteristics as the standards the characteristics lacking the consideration of temporal, a trajectory data clustering algorithm based on spatial-temporal pattern was proposed. The proposed algorithm was based on partition-and-group framework. Firstly, the trajectory feature points were extracted by using the curve edge detection method. Then the sub-trajectory segments were divided according to the trajectory feature points. Finally, the clustering algorithm based on density was used according to the spatio-temporal similarity between sub-trajectory segments. The experimental results show that the trajectory feature points extracted using the proposed algorithm are more accurate to describe the trajectory structure under the premise that the feature points have better simplicity. At the same time, the similarity measurement based on spatio-temporal feature obtains better clustering result by taking into account both spatial and temporal characteristics of trajectory.
