Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for collocation detection. In accordance with one implementation, a method is provided for collocation detection. The method includes obtaining a first object observation that includes a first object identifier, a first observation time, and a first observation location. The method also includes obtaining a second object observation that includes a second object identifier, a second observation time, and a second observation location. In addition, the method includes associating the first observation with a first area on a map, associating the second observation with a second area on the map, and determining whether a potential meeting occurred between objects associated with the first object identifier and the second object identifier based on the first and second observation times, and the first and second areas.
