Qualitative Spatio-Temporal Continuity
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Continuous Transitions in Mereotopology
Continuity from a qualitative perspective is different from both the philosophical and mathematical view of continuity. We explore different intuitive notions of spatio-temporal continuity. We present a general formal framework for continuity and continuous transitions in mereotopology for spatio-temporal histories and thus sketch the correctness of the conceptual neighbourhood for the qualitat...
متن کاملAbducing Qualitative Spatio-Temporal Histories from Partial Observations
We present a logic-based framework in which a qualitative spatio-temporal world model is constructed from local surveys i.e. partial spatio-temporal knowledge. Complete space-time histories are obtained through an abductive process driven by continuity constraints and a library of possibly domain specific behaviour patterns. The abduction technique is circumscription, which implements the heuri...
متن کاملSpatial Webs: Position Paper
Fundamental to any Spatial Information System, including a Spatial Web, is a characterisation of spatial entities and the relationships between them. This is an area I have worked in since the late 1980s, concentrating in particular on Qualitative Spatial and Spatio-temporal reasoning, particularly mereotopological relations over regions [5], but also on orientation [12]. The Leeds work on mere...
متن کاملSpatio-Temporal Continuity in Geographic Space
The paper is an investigation into different notions of spatial, temporal, and spatio-temporal continuity. A formal framework is proposed in which a number of different notions of continuity is situated.
متن کاملA Qualitative Approach to Continuity
The standard mathematical treatment of continuity for real-valued functions presupposes a model in which arbitrarily ne distinctions can be drawn between neighbouring states. In a qualitative model these distinctions are obliterated by treating whole ranges of states as qualitatively indistinguishable. In this paper we show how topological considerations can be used, in the form of a relation c...
