[R-sig-Geo] Bagidis semi-distance for tracking data

Hi,

Has anyone applied the CRAN R Bagidis package to animal movement data?

>From the documentation:
This semi-distance allows for comparing curves with sharp local patterns
that might not be well aligned from one curve to another. It is data-driven
and highly adaptive to the curves being studied. Its main originality is
its ability to consider simultaneously horizontal and vertical variations
of patterns, which proofs highly useful when used together with clustering
algorithms or visualization method.

I've found it reliably finds the same inflection or change points I'm
finding through primarily euclidian triangulation and I especially like
that it doesn't care if time courses differ. It is marvelously well
documented as to theory, though seems it would greatly benefit from a
vignette.

My current data is eyetracking but it shares many characteristics of animal
movement sensor data.  Thanks for your consideration.
