Qualitative spatio-temporal relations
نویسنده
چکیده
We define a family of qualitative spatio-temporal relations such as sameplace-same-time and same-path-different-time, which describe the relative location of spatio-temporal objects within places or along paths. The relations in question are approximate, and this means that some of them are context-dependent. We explore the relationships between context, judgments that are made in certain contexts, and the spatio-temporal relations that do occur in those judgments. Understanding these relationships is important for understanding human judgments about spatio-temporal configurations as well as for the interaction of humans with spatio-temporal databases.

Qualitative Spatio-Temporal Stream Reasoning with Unobservable Intertemporal Spatial Relations Using Landmarks
Qualitative spatio-temporal reasoning is an active research area in Artificial Intelligence. In many situations there is a need to reason about intertemporal qualitative spatial relations, i.e. qualitative relations between spatial regions at different time-points. However, these relations can never be explicitly observed since they are between regions at different time-points. In applications ...

متن کاملQualitative Spatio-Temporal Continuity
We explore different intuitive notions of spatio-temporal continuity and give a formal characterization of continuity for space-time histories. We investigate the types of transitions possible for the RCC-8 topological relations under each distinct notion of spatio-temporal continuity and provide a hierarchy of conceptual neighbourhood diagrams.

This paper introduces an approach for dealing with underspecified spatial and temporal relations during early stage spatio-temporal planning in large-scale unfamiliar environments. For that purpose a partial spatio-temporal constraint satisfaction algorithm is introduced. The algorithm operates on a qualitative as well as metric representation of the given spatio-temporal relations. In order to...
متن کاملContext-aware Modeling for Spatio-temporal Data Transmitted from a Wireless Body Sensor Network
Context-aware systems must be interoperable and work across different platforms at any time and in any place. Context data collected from wireless body area networks (WBAN) may be heterogeneous and imperfect, which makes their design and implementation difficult. In this research, we introduce a model which takes the dynamic nature of a context-aware system into consideration. This model is con...
