A tool for tracking floodplain age land surface patterns on a large meandering river with applications for ecological planning and restoration design

“…Cartographic modeling is a map overlay process that uses functions to combine the features and attributes of multiple map layers into a single map layer (Tomlin, 1990;Lo and Yeung, 2002). Temporal GIS data structures and models to track geographic changes over time are becoming more prevalent in resource management (Ott and Swiaczny, 2001;Peuquet, 2002), such as the development of the ArcGIS Tracking Analyst Software Extension (ESRI, 2003a). Several GIS methods to detect and quantify landscape change are reviewed in Mitchell (1999).…”

The MurMur project: Modeling and querying multi-representation spatio-temporal databases

“…Several books provide a general introduction and an extensive coverage of spatial (e.g., [21,22]), temporal (e.g., [23,24]), and spatio-temporal data management (e.g., [25]). A good overview of European research may be found in [26], while most of USA activities are documented from the NCGIA website (National Center for Geographic Information & Analysis, http://www.ncgia.ucsb.…”

Efficient Detection of Patterns in 2D Trajectories of Moving Points

“…We note that we look only for patterns defined by the given input locations and time steps, not for patterns defined by locations in between. This is referred to as the snapshot view of time [20]. If time is sampled sufficiently densely, this is no severe limitation.…”
