The Use of Kalman Filter in Handling Imprecise and Missing Data for Mobile Group Mining

As the advances of communication techniques, some services related to location information came into existence successively. On such application is on finding out the mobile groups that exhibit spatial and temporal proximities called mobile group mining. Although there exists positioning devices that are capable of achieving a high accuracy with low measurement error. Many consumer-grades, inexpensive positioning devices that incurred various extent of higher measurement error are much more popular. In addition, some natural factors such as temperature, humidity, and pressure may have influences on the precision of position measurement. Worse, moving objects may sometimes become untraceable voluntarily or involuntarily. In this thesis, we extend the previous work on mobile group mining and adopt Kalman filter to correct the noisy data and predict the missing data. Several methods based on Kalman filter that correct/predict either correction data or pair-wise distance data. These methods have been evaluated using synthetic data generated using IBM City Simulator. We identify the operating regions in which each method has the best performance.
