Measuring Space-Time Prism Similarity Through Temporal Profile Curves
نویسندگان
چکیده
Space-time paths and prisms based on the time geographic framework model actual (empirical or simulated) and potential mobility, respectively. There are well-established methods for quantitatively measuring similarity between space-time paths, including dynamic time warping and edit-distance functions. However, there are no corresponding measures for comparing space-time prisms. Analogous to path similarity, space-time prism similarity measures can support comparison of individual accessibility, prism clustering methods and retrieving prisms similar to a reference prism from a mobility database. In this paper, we introduce a method to calculate space-time prism similarity through temporal sweeping. The sweeping method generates temporal profile curves summarizing dynamic prism geometry or semantic content over the time span of the prism’s existence. Given these profile curves, we can apply existing path similarity methods to compare space-time prisms based on a specified geometric or semantic prism. This method can also be scaled to multiple prisms, and can be applied to prisms and paths simultaneously. We discuss the general approach and demonstrate the method for classic planar space-time prisms.

Similarity Measures for Network Time Prisms
Space-time paths and prisms are time geographic concepts delimiting the actual and potential mobility pattern of an object in space and time, respectively. While there is a range of similarity measures for space-time paths, it is only recently that researchers started to develop similarity measures for the space-time prism (STP). This paper proposes a new methodology for measuring the similarit...

The variable and complex nature of the sediment load of rivers has led that the estimation of sediment entering the reservoirs and the production of long term sediment, for determining the lifetime of the structures encounter with the problem. Application of sediment rating curves is one of the most common methods for estimating the suspended sediment load of rivers. Regardless of the accuracy ...
متن کاملMultiple gene expression profile alignment for microarray time-series data clustering
MOTIVATION Clustering gene expression data given in terms of time-series is a challenging problem that imposes its own particular constraints. Traditional clustering methods based on conventional similarity measures are not always suitable for clustering time-series data. A few methods have been proposed recently for clustering microarray time-series, which take the temporal dimension of the da...
متن کاملSymmetry Reduction for Probabilistic Systems
Symmetry reduction techniques have been quite successful in combatting the state-space explosion problem for temporal logic model checking [2, 3]. Recently, there has been a lot of interest in using model checkers to verify properties of probabilistic systems. We describe work in progress in extending symmetry reduction techniques to apply to discrete time Markov chains and Markov decision proc...
متن کاملMeasuring and Simulating 2,4-D Residues in Silty Clay Soil Profile Under Two Water Regimes Using a LEACHP Model
The extensive use of pesticides in agriculture is compromising soil and water quality. One major concern is protecting water resources from contamination. The main objective of this research was measuring 2,4- D in a silty clay soil and simulating temporal transportation of this herbicide in soil using a LEACHP model, in a corn root zone field. 2,4- D was applied at 3.5 kg a.i./ha, followed by ...
