Point-of-Interest clustering from GPS trajectories

PoI Clustering with Stay Points/Stay Region Detection

Python implementation of PoI (Point-of-Interest) clustering algorithm based on:

To find PoI, those studies propose a stay point, that is a micro cluster of temporal-spatial trajectories, and a stay region, that is a macro cluster of stay points.

Simple Description of Algorithm

• Find stay points regarding temporal and spatial distance between two trajectories.
• Build grids that embodying stay points.
• Cluster neighboring grids and give labels.

Installation

pip install poi-clustering
