The Kalman filter is a very commonly used technique in data assimilation, but it has a problem in terms of practical use from the viewpoint of processing efficiency and estimating the deterioration in precision when applied to particularly large-scale datasets. In this article, we propose a method that simultaneously addresses these problems and demonstrate its usefulness. The proposed method improves the processing efficiency and suppresses the deterioration in estimation precision by introducing correction processes focusing on the non-negative nature and sparseness of data in wavelet space. We show that the proposed method can accurately estimate population dynamics on the basis of an evaluation done using population data generated from cellular networks. In addition, the possibility of wide area abnormality detection using the proposed method is shown from a situation analysis of when Category 5 typhoon Hagibis made landfall in Japan. The proposed method has been deployed in a commercial service to estimate real-time population dynamics in Japan.","PeriodicalId":43641,"journal":{"name":"ACM Transactions on Spatial Algorithms and Systems","volume":"9 1","pages":"1 - 29"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41362053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Annually, a large number of people migrate to financial and industrial centers in other states for their livelihood earning. Bulk of them returned to Odisha during the early stage of national lockdown (March–June 2020) due to the Covid-19 outbreak as their places of work became Covid hotspots while Odisha was much less affected. This triggered the Odisha government to take precautionary measures such as mandatory quarantine of returning migrants, setting up of containment zones, and establishing temporary medical centres (TMC). Moreover, it was necessary for the government to devise a policy that could slow down the spread of Covid-19 in Odisha due to inflow of migrants. Being part of a task-force constituted by government to understand Covid-19 spread dynamics in Odisha, we predicted the number of people who would get infected primarily due to reverse-migration. This helped the government to make timely resource mobilisation. After analyzing reasons behind the rise in infections at various districts with large migrant population, we mapped the prediction problem to Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT) of Abraham Wald. Our predictions were highly accurate when compared with real data that were obtained at a later stage. Two levels of SPRT were carried out over the data provided by the government. Use of SPRT for Covid-19 spread analysis is novel, particularly to predict the number of possible infections much ahead in time due to the sudden inflow of migrants.","PeriodicalId":43641,"journal":{"name":"ACM Transactions on Spatial Algorithms and Systems","volume":"8 1","pages":"1 - 18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43817738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we focus on a specific type of SOP called spatial partitioning, which is a combinatorial problem due to the presence of discrete spatial units. Exact optimization methods do not scale with the size of the problem, especially within practicable time limits. This motivated us to develop population-based metaheuristics for solving such SOPs. However, the search operators employed by these population-based methods are mostly designed for real-parameter continuous optimization problems. For adapting these methods to SOPs, we apply domain knowledge in designing spatially aware search operators for efficiently searching through the discrete search space while preserving the spatial constraints. To this end, we put forward a simple yet effective algorithm called swarm-based spatial memetic algorithm (SPATIAL) and test it on the school (re)districting problem. Detailed experimental investigations are performed on real-world datasets to evaluate the performance of SPATIAL. Besides, ablation studies are performed to understand the role of the individual components of SPATIAL. Additionally, we discuss how SPATIAL is helpful in the real-life planning process and its applicability to different scenarios and motivate future research directions.","PeriodicalId":43641,"journal":{"name":"ACM Transactions on Spatial Algorithms and Systems","volume":"9 1","pages":"1 - 31"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46180892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Points within ℛ are likely to be of interest to O, so identification of dwell regions has applications such as monitoring and surveillance. We first present a logarithmic-time online algorithm to find dwell regions in an incoming stream of object positions. Our method maintains the upper and lower bounds for the radius of the smallest circle enclosing the object positions, thereby greatly reducing the number of trajectory points needed to evaluate the query. It approximates the radius of the smallest circle enclosing a given subtrajectory within an arbitrarily small user-defined factor and is also able to efficiently answer decision queries asking whether or not a dwell region exists. For the offline version of the dwell region problem, we first extend our online approach to develop the ρ-Index, which indexes subtrajectories using query radius ranges. We then refine this approach to obtain the τ-Index, which indexes subtrajectories using both query radius ranges and dwell durations. Our experiments using both real-world and synthetic datasets show that the online approach can scale up to hundreds of thousands of moving objects. For archived trajectories, our indexing approaches speed up queries by many orders of magnitude.","PeriodicalId":43641,"journal":{"name":"ACM Transactions on Spatial Algorithms and Systems","volume":"9 1","pages":"1 - 35"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48485948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we study a number of flow-query-related problems: Given a terrain Σ, represented as a triangulated xy-monotone surface with n vertices, and a rain distribution R that may vary over time, determine how much water is flowing over a given vertex or edge as a function of time. We develop internal-memory as well as I/O-efficient algorithms for flow queries. This article contains four main algorithmic results: (i) An internal-memory algorithm for answering terrain-flow queries: Preprocess Σ into a linear-size data structure so given a rain distribution R, the flow-rate functions of all vertices and edges of Σ can be reported quickly. (ii) I/O-efficient algorithms for answering terrain-flow queries. (iii) An internal-memory algorithm for answering vertex-flow queries: Preprocess Σ into a linear-size data structure so given a rain distribution R, the flow-rate function of a vertex under the single-flow direction (SFD) model can be computed quickly. (iv) An efficient algorithm that, given a path 𝖯 in Σ and flow rate along 𝖯, computes the two-dimensional channel along which water flows.

In particular, 3D digital pathology provides a revolutionary approach to map human tissues in 3D, which is highly promising for advancing computer-aided diagnosis and understanding diseases through spatial queries and analysis. However, the exponential increase of data at 3D leads to significant I/O, communication, and computational challenges for 3D spatial queries. The complex structures of 3D objects such as bifurcated vessels make it difficult to effectively support 3D spatial queries with traditional methods. In this article, we present our work on building an efficient and scalable spatial query system, iSPEED, for large-scale 3D data with complex structures. iSPEED adopts effective progressive compression for each 3D object with successive levels of detail. Further, iSPEED exploits structural indexing for complex structured objects in distance-based queries. By querying with data represented in successive levels of details and structural indexes, iSPEED provides an option for users to balance between query efficiency and query accuracy. iSPEED builds in-memory indexes and decompresses data on-demand, which has a minimal memory footprint. iSPEED provides a 3D spatial query engine that can be invoked on-demand to run many instances in parallel implemented with, but not limited to, MapReduce. We evaluate iSPEED with three representative queries: 3D spatial joins, 3D nearest neighbor query, and 3D spatial proximity estimation. The extensive experiments demonstrate that iSPEED significantly improves the performance of existing spatial query systems.","PeriodicalId":43641,"journal":{"name":"ACM Transactions on Spatial Algorithms and Systems","volume":"8 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9446285/pdf/nihms-1827081.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"33448539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Toward achieving this goal, WiFi fingerprinting-based indoor localization systems have been proposed. However, fingerprinting involves significant effort—especially when done at high density—and needs to be repeated with any change in the deployment area. While a number of recent systems have been introduced to reduce the calibration effort, these still trade overhead with accuracy. This article presents LiPhi++, an accurate system for enabling fingerprinting-based indoor localization systems without the associated data collection overhead. This is achieved by leveraging the sensing capability of transportable laser range scanners to automatically label WiFi scans, which can subsequently be used to build (and maintain) a fingerprint database. As part of its design, LiPhi++ leverages this database to train a deep long short-term memory network utilizing the signal strength history from the detected access points. LiPhi++ also has provisions for handling practical deployment issues, including the noisy wireless environment, heterogeneous devices, among others. Evaluation of LiPhi++ using Android phones in two realistic testbeds shows that it can match the performance of manual fingerprinting techniques under the same deployment conditions without the overhead associated with the traditional fingerprinting process. In addition, LiPhi++ improves upon the median localization accuracy obtained from crowdsourcing-based and fingerprinting-based systems by 284% and 418%, respectively, when tested with data collected a few months later.","PeriodicalId":43641,"journal":{"name":"ACM Transactions on Spatial Algorithms and Systems","volume":" ","pages":"1 - 25"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45056540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
