Classifying Vehicle Activity to Improve Point of Interest Extraction

Algorithm 4

Activity-based vehicle PoI extraction (AVPE)—deployment stage.
inputs: , a set of trajectories in the buffer,
, the merge threshold
, the pre-trained classifier
, the feature set used in the classifier
, the chosen clustering algorithm, with pretrained parameters
output: , a set of clusters that are considered to be relevant

(2)for do
 //calculate features for the cluster from the vehicle signal values, features () is defined in Algorithm 2
 //select feature values from the feature set and obtain prediction from classifier
(3)
 //if the prediction is in the set of positive labels, add the cluster to our return set
