PPT-NS: Prioritized Progressive Trend Based Navigational System on GPS data with Artifacts

Abstract

The Global Positioning System is extensively used in the various context and location service-based applications. Any kind of abnormalities requires an efficient and suitable pre-processing algorithm to be implemented on the data which provides accurate results when used in the application synchronizations. This paper illustrates a framework for various pre-processing techniques applied to the real-time GPS data and its effect on trajectory mapping. The technique used includes Prioritized pattern-based, Savitzky-Golay filtering, outlier elimination, de-trending, and coefficient correlation. The performance assessment of methods discussed in this study is calculated in terms of accuracy with the original and re-created trajectory after the pre-processing and found that the best result is given by moving window method.
