Large Scale GPS Trajectory Generation Using Map based on Two-stage-GAN

Python impletement of paper Large Scale GPS Trajectory Generation Using Map based on Two-stage-GAN (Link)

Introduction

we propose a map-based Two-Stage GAN method (TSG) to generate fine-grained and plausible large-scale trajectories. In the first stage, we first transfer GPS points data to discrete grid representation as the input for a modified deep convolutional generative adversarial network to learn the general pattern. In the second stage, inside each grid, we design an effective encoder-decoder network as the generator to extract road information from map image and then embed it into two parallel Long Short-Term Memory networks to generate GPS point sequence.

Result

We evaluate the synthetic trajectories in terms of their similarity to real data, i.e., distribution of overall GPS coordinate, distribution of trajectory sequences length, distribution of trajectory distance, top-N visited places and road networks matching accuracy. And we compare our result with the previous benchmark.
