We investigate the accuracy of continuous nearest neighbour queries along several trajectory types.

摘要

We investigate the accuracy of continuous nearest neighbour queries along several trajectory types. Many Location Based Services (LBS) for continuous k nearest neighbour queries utilize a safe region approach when processing the query locally on a user’s device. Some approaches, however, are approximate as the safe region may be missing points of interest (POIs) which makes the query result invalid. This paper further investigates a cluster-based safe region approach that is proposed in the literature. Past studies of this approach did not focus on the accuracy of random trajectories. Therefore, we evaluate the cluster-based strategy using different random path scenarios to determine how close to 100% accuracy can be achieved. By varying the number of clusters, safe region size, the number of nearest neighbours and the distribution of the data, results show that the cluster-based strategy achieves high accuracy in most situations.
