AAU 4 Introduction  Problem  Splitting trajectories optimally with the goal of minimizing the expected number of I/Os  Focus on  Spatio-temporal queries over historical trajectory data Using index structures that use MBRs  Past Solutions  A single MBR  Each line segment an MBR  Split trajectories and the resulting sub-trajectories independently by MBRs  Main contributions  An analytical cost model and a dynamic programming solution for splitting a given set of trajectories optimally (in terms of expected I/Os).  Another cost model and algorithm for segments updated incrementally

6. AAU 6 Background and Motivation  R-tree Review  Leaf nodes: MBRs of data objects and pointers to the object  Internal nodes: sequence of pairs of an MBR and a pointer to a child node  Why spilt trajectories?  Offer a great potential for improving the performance of sptatio-temporal range queries.  Splitting a trajectory → total volume of MBRs↓ → intersect range queries ↓ → data pages to be retrieved ↓  The actual amount of volume reduction depends on: the number of splits and split points

7. AAU 7 Background and Motivation  Trajectory splits and query sizes  Not only minimize the volume of trajectory approximations  But also take into account query sizes  Advantages: Include past solutions Offers a potential for tuning the index An average query size is not restricted to static datasets

9. AAU 9 Trajectory splitting Methods - Optimal Trajectory Splitting  Objectives  Derive an analytical cost model Estimate the expected number of I/Os Yielded by a given split of a trajectory and a given query size  Introduce an algorithm based on this cost model  A cost model for splitting trajectories  Definition1: a trajectory T= with p i =(x i, y i,t i ) T[u,v]=<p u,…p v ] T=T[1,t] T is split into m segments(1 ≦ m ≦ t-1) : T=(T[I,i 1 ],…,T[i m-1,t]) i 1,…i m-1 :split positions B T =(MBR(T[1,i 1 ]),…, MBR(T[i m-1,t]))  The set of MBR approximations of all possible decompositions of T into m segments Decomp(T,m)={(B 1,…,B m )}, B 1 =MBR(T[1,i 1 ]),…, B m =MBR(T[i m-1.t]}  q intersects B T → q intersects k segments →yield k I/Os →P(q∩B T ;k)  Definition2: E BT (q)= The overall expected number of I/Os.

10. AAU 10 Trajectory splitting Methods - Optimal Trajectory Splitting  A cost model for splitting trajectories  Lemma 1: P(q∩B i ): the probability that a q intersects the i th segment in B T  S: the area where a query q can fall  Extended MBR Ext q (B i )  Lemma 1:  Minimizing the performance means finding  Definition3:  The minimal number of I/Os over all possible splits:

11. AAU 11 Trajectory splitting Methods - Optimal Trajectory Splitting  Dynamic Programming Algorithm  Object: Solve Finds the best possible split of T for each value of m  Theorem 1  Proof ↓  Last segment (starting at u) is fixed by assumption, T[1,u] be split into m-1 segments  The sum of volumes of the extended MBRs for the first m-1segments is minimal  The whole sum to be minimal.  Consider all possible values of start positions u in the range 1<u<t for the last segment of T

12. AAU 12 Trajectory splitting Methods – Heuristic Trajectory Splitting  Objective Find a more efficient and incremental method can produce near optimal results for trajectories are updated continuously large datasets containing long trajectories  A Cost Model for Optimal Segment Size  “Constant-slope trajectories”: segments of equal size  Definition:  Lemma 2:  Definition: C: the number of elementary segments in B i

13. AAU 13 Trajectory splitting Methods – Heuristic Trajectory Splitting  A Cost Model for Optimal Segment Size  Theorem 2. Given a query q, and increments ( △ x, △ y, △ t), the function g has a global real minimum C opt with respect to c.  Theorem3. C opt is a solution to  Proof: C opt gives smaller f(s) values → ∑f(s i ) is minimal → By Lemma 2,Therorem3  Apply this model to an arbitrary trajectory: compute the average of increments( △ x, △ y, △ t)

14. AAU 14 Trajectory splitting Methods – Heuristic Trajectory Splitting  Linear Time Trajectory Splitting  Object: Apply the C opt method.  Determine a suitable number of points that should be buffered before applying the split policy.  Iteratively collecting points until becomes true.  Means at least one possible split will result in better I/O expection.  Linear time trajectory splitting Algorithm --- LinearSplit

16. AAU 16 Experimental Results  Comparison Between  OptimalSplit: dynamic programming-based algorithm  LinearSplit: linear time algorithm  NoSplit: approximate each trajectory by a single MBR  FullSplit: approximate each line segment of a trajectory individually by an MBR  HKTG: DPSplit, volume oriented split policy  Results  Number of Disk I/Os No matter varying query size and varying database size, the I/O performance of our algorithms is always significantly better than the others,. Except FullSplit in varying database size, but its performance degrades much faster with increasing database size.  Index Building Time 1. Varying query size: Our algorithms exhibit a good balance between trajectory splitting time and insertion time. As query size increases, our index building times decreases. 2. Varying Database Size Our algorithms scale linearly at much slower rate than all other ones. 3 4
