Spatio-temporal networks are becoming popular with the rise of traffic information being incorporated into street mapping utilities such as Google Maps. This additional information adds potentially large time series of traffic information to each road segment. Naive implementations of secondary storage of spatio-temporal networks may not be sufficient, as current techniques commonly store entir...

Autoassociations of spatio-temporal sequences have been discussed by a number of authors. We propose a mechanism for storing and retrieving pairs of spatio-temporal sequences with the network architecture of the standard bidirectional associative memory (BAM), thereby achieving hetero-associations of spatio-temporal sequences.

An analytical mechanism that support localized spatio-temporal chaos is provided. We consider a simple model-the Nagumo Kuramoto model-which contains the crucial ingredients for observing localized spatio-temporal chaos, namely, the spatio-temporal chaotic pattern and its coexistence with a uniform state. This model allows us to unveil the front dynamics and to show that it can be described by ...

We address a fundamental question concerning spatio-temporal database systems: “What are exactly spatio-temporal queries?” We define spatio-temporal queries to be computable mappings that are also generic, meaning that the result of a query may only depend to a limited extent on the actual internal representation of the spatio-temporal data. Genericity is defined as invariance under groups of g...

We present new spatio-temporal geostatistical modelling and interpolation capabilities of the R package gstat. Various spatio-temporal covariance models have been implemented, such as the separable, product-sum, metric and sum-metric models. In a real-world application we compare spatio-temporal interpolations using these models with a purely spatial kriging approach. The target variable of the...

Abstract: This work presents a new approach that aims to characterize the spatio-temporal relationships that exist between geographical objects that are absent or non-existent at the moment of analysis. First, we would like to propose a formal analysis of the spatio-temporal states of presence and existence of a geographical object. We will then use a combination of these states in order to def...

We present a method to automatically extract spatio-temporal descriptions of moving objects from synchronized and calibrated multi-view sequences. The object is modeled by a time-varying multi-resolution subdivision surface that is fitted to the image data using spatio-temporal multi-view stereo information, as well as contour constraints. The stereo data is utilized by computing the normalized...

Various continuously-indexed spatio-temporal process models have been constructed to characterize spatio-temporal dependence structures, but the computational complexity for model fitting and predictions grows in a cubic order with the size of dataset and application of such models is not feasible for large datasets. This article extends the full-scale approximation (FSA) approach by Sang and H...
