The availability of devices that track moving objects has led to an
explosive growth in trajectory data. When exploring the resulting
large trajectory collections, visual summaries are a useful tool to
identify time intervals of interest. A typical approach is to represent
the spatial positions of the tracked objects at each time step via a
one-dimensional ordering; visualizations of such orderings can then
be placed in temporal order along a time line. There are two main
criteria to assess the quality of the resulting visual summary: spatial
quality - how well does the ordering capture the structure of the data
at each time step, and stability - how coherent are the orderings over
consecutive time steps or temporal ranges?
In this paper we introduce a new Stable Principal Component
(SPC) method to compute such orderings, which is explicitly parameterized
for stability, allowing a trade-off between the spatial
quality and stability. We conduct extensive computational experiments
that quantitatively compare the orderings produced by ours
and other stable dimensionality-reduction methods to various stateof-
the-art approaches using a set of well-established quality metrics
that capture spatial quality and stability. We conclude that stable
dimensionality reduction outperforms existing methods on stability,
without sacrificing spatial quality or efficiency; in particular, our
new SPC method does so at a fraction of the computational costs.
