Abstract:

By analyzing the performance of density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) and fuzzy
C-means (FCM) clustering, a fast adaptive typical trajectory generation method based on geometric algebra is
proposed. Firstly, the K-means clustering algorithm is used to normalize the flight operation time. Then, lever aging the superior capabilities of geometric algebra in spatiotemporal representation and computation, geometric
algebraic descriptions are formulated for trajectory turn determination, DBSCAN clustering and FCM clustering.
Finally, in the geometric algebraic space, DBSCAN clustering and FCM clustering are carried out adaptively to
form typical trajectories of turn motion state and straight motion state respectively. Experimental results show
that the adaptive typical trajectories achieve over 30% faster generation speed compared to conventional Euclidean space methods.
