Usage

usage: Trajectory Similarity [-h] [-s {LCSS,EDR,MSM,MUITAS}] [-d {true,false}] [-t THREADS] input output config

Compute distances/similarities of trajectories.

positional arguments:
  input                  trajectory file to compute distances/similarities
  output                 output file with the distance/similarity scores
  config                 configuration file

named arguments:
  -h, --help             show this help message and exit
  -s {LCSS,EDR,MSM,MUITAS}, --similarity {LCSS,EDR,MSM,MUITAS}
                         specify the similarity measure to use
  -d {true,false}, --compute-distances {true,false}
                         specify whether to compute distances (true) or similarities (false) (default: false)
  -t THREADS, --threads THREADS
                         the number of threads to be created for running the experiment (default: 1)
