description With the emergence of intelligent transportation and smart city system, the issue of how to perform an efficient and reasonable clustering analysis of the mass vehicle trajectories on multi-camera monitoring videos through computer vision has become a significant area of research. The traditional trajectory clustering algorithm does not consider camera position and field of view and neglects the hierarchical relation of the video object motion between the camera and the scenario, leading to poor multi-camera video object trajectory clustering. To address this challenge, this paper proposed a hierarchical clustering algorithm for multi-camera vehicle trajectories based on spatio-temporal grouping. First, we supervised clustered vehicle trajectories in the camera group according to the optimal point correspondence rule for unequal-length trajectories. Then, we extracted the starting and ending points of the video object under each group, hierarchized the trajectory according to the number of cross-camera groups, and supervised clustered the subsegment sets of different hierarchies. This method takes into account the spatial relationship between the camera and video scenario, which is not considered by traditional algorithms. The effectiveness of this approach has been proved through experiments comparing silhouette coefficient and CPU time.
