This journal article extends the earlier SIEDS work with a fuller evaluation of growing self-organizing maps for trail-network construction. The method is particularly effective on sparse networks without substantial GPS noise.

This project developed a machine-learning pipeline for large-scale geospatial data processing and automated trail detection from noisy GPS traces.

Designed a trail-network construction algorithm using growing self-organizing maps
Processed noisy public GPS traces into cleaner map structure
Implemented efficient data structures to improve computation performance
Received the IEEE SIEDS Best Paper Award for the resulting publication
