Paul Tagliamonte: Processing Geo-location data

I’m in the middle of plotting and designing a library to handle loading, processing and interpreting Geo-location data.

I have a fairly substantial corpus of data (latitude data since 2010-ish, on and off), and a bit of motivation to hack something up.

So far, I would like to see a lib to do most (or all) of the following:

• Discard static-ey reports (e.g., within a second, I’m four miles apart and back)

• Translate from two lat-lon pairs to feet

• “Time-Space points” & PointDeltas

• Point “math”

• Process “stop” data out of the corpus

• Process “trip” data out of the corpus

• Search against a list of “trips” to determine which “trip” it most likely matches, given a new set against the corpus

Not everything is settled, but this is on my list for 1.0, I think.
