Description:
A static map is no longer enough; there is now demand for a dynamic representation. Time is of great importance when operating on real-world geographical phenomena, especially when these are dynamic. Researchers in the field of temporal geographical information systems (TGIS) have been developing methods of incorporating time into geographical information systems. Spatio-temporal analysis embodies spatial modeling, spatio-temporal modeling, spatial reasoning, and data mining. Advances in Spatio-Temporal Analysis contributes to the field of spatio-temporal analysis, presenting innovative ideas and examples that reflect current progress and achievements.
Review Quotes:
"... each paper contains interesting ideas on its own, and readers may be able to make connections from their unique perspectives. ... the book fills the void of strong emphases on formalization and logic models."
-- May Yuan, College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences, University of Oklahoma in Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing, Vol. 75, No. 3, March 2009
"This is a book for the TGIS specialist, or for someone intent on becoming one. In short, this book is dense but thorough." - The Photogrammetric Record 24(125): 103 (March 2009)
