A Data Cleaning Method for the Identification of Outliers in Fishing Vessel Trajectories Based on a Geocoding Algorithm by Li Zhang, Weifeng Zhou

“…If there is no intersection, it is determined that the current fishing vessel position is an outlier, and this point will be excluded. The method proposed in this study is able to effectively identify outliers in trajectory data, achieving efficient and effective trajectory data cleaning and improving the accuracy and reliability of the data.…”
