We present a near-linear time approximation algorithm for the subtrajectory cluster problem of c-packed trajectories. Given a trajectory T of complexity n, an approximation factor ε, and a desired distance d, the problem involves finding m subtrajectories of T such that their pair-wise Fréchet distance is at most (1 + ε)d. At least one subtrajectory must be of length l or longer. A trajectory T is c-packed if the intersection of T and any ball B with radius r is at most c · r in length. Previous results by Gudmundsson and Wong [24] established an Ω(n3) lower bound unless the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis fails, and they presented an O(n3 log2 n) time algorithm. We circumvent this conditional lower bound by studying subtrajectory cluster on c-packed trajectories, resulting in an algorithm with an O((c2n/ε2) log(c/ε) log(n/ε)) time complexity.
