Software

The software listed here was used for the research that I published during my PhD studies.

Node Reduction / Trajectory Compression Algorithm Implementations

Douglas-Peucker Line Simplification
This is a java implementation of the Douglas-Peucker (aka Ramer-Douglas-Peucker) algorithm.

Optimal Line Simplification
This is a java implementation of Hiroshi Imai's and Masao Iri's algorithm to approximate a polyline by connecting a subsequence of points. With their algorithm, they solved the minimum subsequence approximation problem, thus finding a polyline approximation with a minimal number of edges, regarding an accuracy constraint epsilon. The algorithm was published in:
Hiroshi Imai, Masao Iri, Computational-geometric methods for polygonal approximations of a curve, Computer Vision, Graphics, and Image Processing, Volume 36, Issue 1, October 1986, Pages 31-41, ISSN 0734-189X, 10.1016/S0734-189X(86)80027-5.

CornuConsole: A Trajectory Compression Scheme using Clothoidal Spline Curve Fitting
Ilya Baran published an method to sketch clothoid splines using a shortest path algorithm. Since clothoid splines are also used to achieve optimal trafficability in the design and construction of roadways, we constructed a compression scheme based on Baran's algorithm. CornuConsole is a CLI frontend to Baran's java software, CornuCopia.

An Arithmetic Coder for Discrete Spatio-Temporal Trajectories
We implemented an arithmetic coding scheme based on the software framework published by Bob Carpenter. Our coding scheme employs simple movement models to encode discrete spatio-temporal trajectories.

Movement Data

For our studies on compression algorithms, we have used movement measurements from the OpenStreetMap project and its contibutors. Here, we provide the movement data (in a csv format), that have been extracted from the collected original public available GPS traces from the OpenStreetMap website.
