Abstract: Hurricanes often cause incalculable human and economic losses, and the trajectory outlier detection can provide the auxiliary information or abnormal warning of the disaster. On deep learning, a method of hurricane trajectory outlier detection based on variable auto encoder (VAEOD) is proposed in this paper. The trajectory is divided into equal sequence sub trajectories based on the sliding window as the input of VAE. The trajectory reconstruction model is trained by the VAE. The parallel, vertical and angle distance of reconstructed trajectory and the input trajectory are compared to find out the outlier trajectory segments. The simulation experiment on real hurricane data shows that the VAEOD method is more rational and practical than the classical TRAOD method.

Key words: variational auto-encoder, space distance, sliding window, outlier detection
