The tale of (fusing) two uncertainties (融合)两个不确定性的故事
Bingxin Zhang, Goce Trajcevski
This work addresses the problem of fusing spatio-temporal uncertainties obtained from heterogeneous location sources: on-board GPS devices and roadside sensors. We develop a model for combining the uncertain location-values from the different sources, which further narrows the possible locations of a given object. Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed model may eliminate significant amount of the false positives, compared to the traditional space-time prism (bead) uncertainty models.
这项工作解决了融合从异构定位源获得的时空不确定性的问题:车载GPS设备和路边传感器。我们开发了一个模型来结合来自不同来源的不确定位置值,这进一步缩小了给定物体的可能位置。实验表明,与传统的时空棱镜(头)不确定性模型相比,该模型可以消除大量的误报。

Local persistent homology based distance between maps 基于映射之间的局部持久同源距离
M. Ahmed, Brittany Terese Fasy, C. Wenk
We define a topology-based distance metric between road networks embedded in the plane. This distance measure is based on local persistent homology, and employs a local distance signature that enables identification and visualization of local differences between the road networks. This paper is motivated by the need to recognize changes in road networks over time and to assess the quality of different map construction algorithms. One particular challenge is evaluating the results when no ground truth is known. However, we demonstrate that we can overcome this hurdle by using a statistical technique known as the bootstrap.
我们定义了嵌入在平面上的道路网络之间基于拓扑的距离度量。这种距离测量基于局部持久同源性,并采用局部距离签名,可以识别和可视化道路网络之间的局部差异。本文的动机是需要识别道路网络随时间的变化,并评估不同地图构建算法的质量。一个特别的挑战是在不知道基本事实的情况下评估结果。然而,我们证明了我们可以通过使用一种称为bootstrap的统计技术来克服这个障碍。

Can geo-tags on flickr draw coastlines? flickr上的地理标签能画出海岸线吗?
M. Omori, Masaharu Hirota, H. Ishikawa, Shohei Yokoyama
Many photos shared on photo-sharing sites are annotated with tags and geo-tags. Some studies have demonstrated extraction of the geographical characterization which a tag represents as regions using those metadata. However, in some cases (e.g. coastline), a line is more suitable than a region as a geographical characterization of a tag. Therefore, we proposed a novel method to extract lines as a region as a geographical characterization. Results show that the distance of a coastline and many lines of our method is less than 500 m. Although, in this paper, only the coastline has been evaluated, this method is applicable to other tags as well.
在照片分享网站上分享的许多照片都带有标签和地理标签。一些研究已经证明了利用这些元数据提取标签作为区域表示的地理特征。然而,在某些情况下(例如海岸线),一条线比一个区域更适合作为标签的地理特征。因此,我们提出了一种新的提取线作为区域作为地理特征的方法。结果表明,该方法的一条海岸线和多条线之间的距离小于500 m。虽然本文仅对海岸线进行了评价,但该方法也适用于其他标签。

Minimum backward fréchet distance 最小后退距离
Amin Gheibi, A. Maheshwari, J. Sack, Christian Scheffer
We propose a new measure to capture similarity between polygonal curves, called the minimum backward Fréchet distance. It is a natural optimization on the weak Fréchet distance, a variant of the well-known Fréchet distance. More specifically, for a given threshold ε, we are searching for a pair of walks for two entities on the two input curves, T1 and T2, such that the union of the portions of backward movements is minimized and the distance between the two entities, at any time during the walk, is less than or equal to ε. Our algorithm detects if no such pair of walks exists. This natural optimization problem appears in many applications in Geographical Information Systems, mobile networks and robotics. We provide an exact algorithm with time complexity of O(n2 log n) and space complexity of O(n2), where n is the maximum number of segments in the input polygonal curves.
我们提出了一种新的度量方法来捕获多边形曲线之间的相似性,称为最小向后弯曲距离。它是弱fracimet距离的自然优化,是众所周知的fracimet距离的一种变体。更具体地说,对于给定的阈值ε,我们在两条输入曲线T1和T2上寻找两个实体的一对行走,使得向后运动部分的并集最小,并且两个实体之间的距离在行走过程中的任何时候都小于或等于ε。我们的算法检测是否不存在这样的行走对。这种自然优化问题出现在地理信息系统、移动网络和机器人的许多应用中。我们提供了一个精确的算法,时间复杂度为O(n2 log n),空间复杂度为O(n2),其中n为输入多边形曲线的最大分段数。

Parameter-free discovery and recommendation of areas-of-interest 无参数发现和推荐感兴趣的领域
D. Laptev, Alexey Tikhonov, P. Serdyukov, Gleb Gusev
The task of discovering places of interest is a key step for many location-based recommendation tasks. In this paper we propose a fully unsupervised and parameter-free approach to deal with this problem based on the collection of geotagged photos. While previous papers are mostly devoted to discovering points (POI), we focus on areas of interest (AOI). Recommendation of better matches the traditional tourist goals and allows to robustly incorporate the interests of many users resulting in less subjective recommendations. The typical question that can be answered with the algorithm is formulated as "Where can one spend T minutes/hours walking around to observe as many attractive places as possible?" The proposed method starts with estimating multiple density hypotheses and then partitions these densities with the watershed segmentation algorithm into regions. The implicit parameters are tuned automatically to fit tourist goals and constraints resulting in a parameter-free algorithm. In spite of the parameter optimization overhead, the method is computationally efficient as it employs fast Fourier transforms for convolutions. We test our approach on 7 different cities and quantitatively show that the proposed method consistently outperforms the state-of-the-art DBSCAN algorithm and its modern modification P-DBSCAN, providing up to several times better recommendations in terms of time required for city exploration.
发现感兴趣的地点是许多基于位置的推荐任务的关键步骤。在本文中,我们提出了一种基于地理标记照片集合的完全无监督和无参数的方法来处理这一问题。虽然以前的论文主要致力于发现点(POI),但我们关注的是兴趣领域(AOI)。推荐更好地匹配传统的旅游目标,并允许强大地结合许多用户的兴趣,从而减少主观的推荐。该算法可以回答的典型问题是“在哪里可以花T分钟/小时四处走走,观察尽可能多的吸引人的地方?”该方法首先估计多个密度假设,然后使用分水岭分割算法将这些密度划分为区域。隐式参数自动调整以适应游客的目标和约束,从而产生无参数算法。尽管参数优化的开销,该方法是计算效率高,因为它采用快速傅里叶变换的卷积。我们在7个不同的城市测试了我们的方法,并定量地表明,所提出的方法始终优于最先进的DBSCAN算法及其现代修改的P-DBSCAN算法,在城市探索所需的时间方面提供了几倍的更好的建议。

Adding completeness information to query answers over spatial databases 在空间数据库的查询答案中添加完整性信息
Simon Razniewski, W. Nutt
Real-life spatial databases are inherently incomplete. This is in particular the case when data from different sources are combined. An extreme example are volunteered geographical information systems like OpenStreetMap. When querying such databases the question arises how reliable are the retrieved answers. For instance, for positive queries, which ask for existing patterns of objects, further answers could show up if the data is completed. For queries with negation, it is furthermore possible that after data completion objects cease to satisfy a query. On the OpenStreetMap wiki, contributors have started to record for some areas which object types have been mapped completely. Given a query, we show how such metainformation can be used to classify objects in the database as certain answers, which are certainly answers in reality, impossible answers, which in reality are definitely not answers, and possible answers, for which it is not known whether they are answers in reality. In addition, we compute the completeness area of a query, that is the maximal area for which it is certain that no further answer objects exist in reality. All this additional information can be computed with standard operations on spatial data. Experiments suggest that the computation of such completeness information is feasible.
现实生活中的空间数据库本质上是不完整的。当来自不同来源的数据组合在一起时尤其如此。一个极端的例子是像OpenStreetMap这样的志愿地理信息系统。在查询此类数据库时,会出现检索到的答案有多可靠的问题。例如,对于正向查询,即询问对象的现有模式,如果数据完成,则可以显示进一步的答案。对于带有否定的查询,在数据完成之后,对象可能不再满足查询。在OpenStreetMap wiki上,贡献者已经开始记录一些已经完全映射了对象类型的区域。给定一个查询,我们展示了如何使用这些元信息将数据库中的对象分类为确定的答案(在现实中肯定是答案)、不可能的答案(在现实中肯定不是答案)和可能的答案(在现实中不知道它们是否为答案)。此外,我们计算查询的完备面积,即在现实中确定不存在其他可回答对象的最大面积。所有这些附加信息都可以通过对空间数据的标准操作来计算。实验表明,这种完备性信息的计算是可行的。

Persistence based online signal and trajectory simplification for mobile devices 基于持久性的在线信号和移动设备轨迹简化
P. Katsikouli, Rik Sarkar, Jie Gao
We describe an online algorithm to simplify large volumes of location and sensor data on the source mobile device, by eliminating redundant data points and saving important ones. Our approach is to use topological persistence to identify large scale sharp features of a data stream. We show that for one-dimensional data streams such as trajectories, simplification based on topologically persistent features can be maintained online, such that each new data-point is processed in O(1) time. Our method extends to multi-resolution simplifications, where it identifies larger scale features that represent more important elements of data, and naturally eliminates noise and small deviations. The multi-resolution simplification is also maintained online in real time, at cost of O(1) per input point. Therefore it is lightweight and suitable for use in embedded sensors and mobile phones. The method can be applied to more general data streams such as sensor data to produce similar simplifications. Our experiments on real data show that this approach when applied to the curvature function of trajectory or sensor data produces compact simplifications with low approximation errors comparable to existing offline methods.
我们描述了一种在线算法,通过消除冗余数据点和保存重要数据点来简化源移动设备上的大量位置和传感器数据。我们的方法是使用拓扑持久性来识别数据流的大规模尖锐特征。我们表明,对于一维数据流,如轨迹,基于拓扑持久特征的简化可以在线保持,这样每个新的数据点在O(1)时间内被处理。我们的方法扩展到多分辨率简化,它可以识别代表更重要数据元素的更大尺度特征,并自然地消除噪声和小偏差。以每个输入点0(1)的代价在线实时维护多分辨率简化。因此,它重量轻,适合用于嵌入式传感器和移动电话。该方法可以应用于更一般的数据流,如传感器数据,以产生类似的简化。我们在实际数据上的实验表明,当将该方法应用于轨迹或传感器数据的曲率函数时,可以产生与现有离线方法相当的紧凑简化和低近似误差。

Frequency-based search for public transit 基于频率的公共交通搜索
H. Bast, Sabine Storandt
We consider the application of route planning in large public-transportation networks (buses, trains, subways, etc). Many connections in such networks are operated at periodic time intervals. When a set of connections has sufficient periodicity, it becomes more efficient to store the time range and frequency (e.g., every 15 minutes from 8:00am-6:00pm) instead of storing each of the time events separately. Identifying an optimal frequency-compression is NP-hard, so we present a time- and space-efficient heuristic. We show how we can use this compression to not only save space but also query time. We particularly consider profile queries, which ask for all optimal routes with departure times in a given interval (e.g., a whole day). In particular, we design a new version of Dijkstra's algorithm that works with frequency-based labels and is suitable for profile queries. We evaluate the savings of our approach on two metropolitan and three country-wide public-transportation networks. On our largest network, we simultaneously achieve a better space consumption than all previous methods as well as profile query times that are about 5 times faster than the best previous method. We also improve Transfer Patterns, a state-of-the-art technique for fully realistic route planning in large public-transportation networks. In particular, we accelerate the expensive preprocessing by a factor of 60 compared to the original publication.
我们考虑路线规划在大型公共交通网络(公共汽车,火车,地铁等)中的应用。这种网络中的许多连接以周期性的时间间隔运行。当一组连接具有足够的周期性时,存储时间范围和频率(例如,从8:00am-6:00pm每15分钟)比单独存储每个时间事件更有效。确定最优频率压缩是np困难的,因此我们提出了一种时间和空间效率高的启发式方法。我们将展示如何使用这种压缩不仅节省空间,而且节省查询时间。我们特别考虑概要查询,它要求在给定的间隔(例如,一整天)内具有出发时间的所有最佳路线。特别是,我们设计了一个新版本的Dijkstra算法,该算法可以处理基于频率的标签,并且适合于配置文件查询。我们评估了我们的方法在两个大都市和三个全国范围的公共交通网络上的节省。在我们最大的网络上,我们同时实现了比以前所有方法更好的空间消耗以及比以前最好的方法快5倍的配置文件查询时间。我们还改进了换乘模式,这是一种最先进的技术,可以在大型公共交通网络中进行完全现实的路线规划。特别是,与原始出版物相比,我们将昂贵的预处理速度提高了60倍。

From map images to geographic names 从地图图像到地理名称
Yao-Yi Chiang, Sima Moghaddam, Sanjauli Gupta, Renuka Fernandes, Craig A. Knoblock
Map labels provide valuable geographic information by annotating geographic phenomenona with text descriptions. However, many interesting and useful maps are only available as images and hence this information is not readily accessible in a Geographic Information System (GIS). Previous work on text recognition in maps considers maps as a special type of image to be processed using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) techniques and does not pay attention to the typical workflows in a GIS. As a result, to convert map labels into machine-readable text, a user has to switch between OCR and GIS software, transform the detected text locations from the image coordinates (in OCR) to the map coordinates (in GIS), and apply data import/export procedures. This tedious process limits the opportunity to access text information in maps. This paper presents ArcStrabo, an integration of our previous text recognition work and a GIS, which uses a GIS user interface, workflows, and data types to enable efficient training of text recognition algorithms for converting map labels to a table of geographic names. We show that ArcStrabo facilitates map digitization processes, eliminates the need for GIS users to learn additional OCR tools, and does not require manual data export/import procedures between GIS and OCR software.
地图标签通过用文字描述标注地理现象,从而提供有价值的地理信息。然而,许多有趣和有用的地图只能以图像的形式提供,因此这些信息不容易在地理信息系统(GIS)中获得。以往的地图文本识别工作将地图作为一种特殊类型的图像,使用光学字符识别(OCR)技术进行处理,而没有注意到GIS中的典型工作流程。因此,要将地图标签转换为机器可读的文本,用户必须在OCR和GIS软件之间切换,将检测到的文本位置从图像坐标(OCR)转换为地图坐标(GIS),并应用数据导入/导出程序。这个繁琐的过程限制了在地图中访问文本信息的机会。本文介绍了ArcStrabo,它集成了我们以前的文本识别工作和一个GIS,它使用GIS用户界面、工作流和数据类型来有效地训练文本识别算法,将地图标签转换为地理名称表。我们表明ArcStrabo促进了地图数字化进程,消除了GIS用户学习额外OCR工具的需要,并且不需要在GIS和OCR软件之间手动导出/导入数据。

We show that ArcStrabo facilitates map digitization processes, eliminates the need for GIS users to learn additional OCR tools, and does not require manual data export/import procedures between GIS and OCR software.","PeriodicalId":153031,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 22nd ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116707229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Automated tabular itinerary visualization 自动表格行程可视化
M. Adelfio, H. Samet
Advances in geographic information extraction have exposed previously untapped resources, such as many travel itineraries found in HTML tables and spreadsheets on the Web. In the general sense, itineraries differ from the related concepts of routes and trajectories in that the precise paths between stopping points are of far less importance than the locations of the stopping points and their order. This characteristic allows for some flexibility when visualizing itineraries. A method for automatically generating itinerary visualizations is presented, which utilizes principles from graph-drawing and map labeling, along with additional criteria designed specifically for the itinerary visualization task. We describe a system based on this method that can perform automated layout for arbitrary itineraries at varying scales.
地理信息提取的进步暴露了以前未开发的资源,例如在Web上的HTML表格和电子表格中发现的许多旅行路线。在一般意义上,行程不同于路线和轨迹的相关概念,因为停靠点之间的精确路径远不如停靠点的位置及其顺序重要。这一特点允许在可视化行程时具有一定的灵活性。本文提出了一种自动生成行程可视化的方法,该方法利用了绘图和地图标注的原理,以及专门为行程可视化任务设计的附加标准。我们描述了一个基于此方法的系统,该系统可以在不同尺度下对任意行程进行自动布局。
