A fuzzy track-to-track association algorithm with dynamic time warping for trajectory-level vehicle detection by Siqi Wan, Huaqiao Mu, Ke Han, Taesu Cheong, Chi Xie

“…Aiming to address these issues in an integrated manner, this paper proposes a TTTA algorithm that comprehensively calculates the similarity between trajectories using multiple trajectory features through dynamic time warping (DTW) and Cauchy distribution degree of membership function. Multiple experimental datasets were generated by randomly sampling real AIS trajectory data into two trajectory data sources and adding random errors. …”
