Staypoint Detection from Noisy Trajectory Data [Experiment Paper]

Detecting staypoints from raw trajectory data is fundamental to numerous spatial computing applications. This process transforms raw numeric sequences of geolocations into semantically meaningful locations, such as homes, workplaces, or restaurants. Despite its importance for semantic trajectory analysis, staypoint detection lacks standard benchmarks, and existing algorithms have never been systematically evaluated. This gap persists because no publicly available datasets provide both raw individual trajectories and ground-truth staypoint annotations. This benchmark paper addresses this limitation with two key contributions: (1) we introduce 16 large-scale simulated datasets capturing thousands of agents with annotated staypoints across varying trajectory noise levels, and (2) we evaluate nine staypoint detection algorithms-including both state-of-the-art and novel methods-to analyze their robustness to noise. Our evaluation reveals that existing state-of-the-art algorithms perform poorly under realistic noise conditions. Conversely, our proposed unsupervised methods yield substantial improvements, while supervised approaches drastically outperform existing baselines. While these results are very promising, these datasets and methods are only meant as starting points for future research in staypoint detection.
