The proposed method was applied to two different types of dataset: one sythetic and one real. The pictures below show the results of applying the method to a real dataset; this dataset recording the movements of 480 ships in the SOlent over a twenty-four hour period. Please see Wood and Galton 2001 for more details about these images.
The trajectories of all ships within the dataset:
The common locations identified using an location-based approach:
The trajectories of the ships identified as satisfying the common locations criterion (individual-based approach):
The trajectories of the ships identified as satisfying the similar movement patterns criterion:
The trajectories of the ships identified as satisfying the formation criterion:
