Time Weighted Similarity (TWS)

Linked to from “High Performance Spatiotemporal Trajectory Matching”

The formula for the Time Weighted Similarity is given as follows:

\[TWS(T_1,T_2)=\frac {\int _α ^β m(p_1(t),\ p_2(t))dt} {β_1-α_1}\]

Whereas:

  • $m(.,.)$ is the Point similarity function.
  • $β_1-α_1$ is the duration of the trajectory

For computational purposes, the following approximation can be used;

\[\int _α ^β m(p_1(t),\ p_2(t))dt \approx \frac {1} {2} \sum _{i=1} ^{n-1} (m_i + m_{i+1})(t_{i+1}-t_i)\]

Whereas;

  • $t_i$ denotes the timestamp after interpolation.
  • $m_i$ dnotes the point similarity of two trajectories at timestamp $t_i$.

The “time weighted segment score”: $(m_i+m_{i+1})(t_{i+1-t_i})$
