Modeling Topological Relationships between Fuzzy Spatio-Temporal Objects

چکیده
Topological relationships between spatio-temporal objects are the most fundamental elements in spatio-temporal database systems, GIS, and image database systems. The research issue of modeling topological relationships has increasingly attracted attention, especially for querying of spatio-temporal objects and reasoning of topological relationships. Currently, topological relationship operating on spatio-temporal objects with precisely defined boundaries has been well studied. However, in the real world, spatio-temporal objects are not always crisp but with the nature of fuzziness and imprecision. Therefore, how to model topological relationship between fuzzy spatio-temporal objects is a significant topic and needs more investigations. This paper presents a study on modeling topological relationships between fuzzy spatio-temporal objects. Firstly, we give a model of fuzzy spatio-temporal objects in three-dimensional space and define those objects as moving fuzzy points, moving fuzzy lines, and moving fuzzy regions. On this basis, we propose a model for identifying basic topological relations between fuzzy spatio-temporal objects. Furthermore, in order to describe the evolution of basic topological relations over time, we give a model of complex topological relationships which are the sequences of basic relationships. The benefit of this model is that the complex topological relationships can be used as fuzzy spatio-temporal query operators in query languages. Finally, we provide some query examples to demonstrate fuzzy spatio-temporal queries in spatio-temporal database.

Spatio-temporal Object Modeling in Fuzzy Topological Space
Fuzzy spatial objects have become more and more important in GIS applications. When spatial phenomena are generalized by the crisp form, a lot of quantitative information is lost. Land cover as a fuzzy spatio-temporal object should be modeled in a fuzzy framework. In addition, topological relations between fuzzy spatial objects are much more complicated than that are defined between crisp spati...

There are complex spatio-temporal relationships among cadastral entities. Cadastral spatio-temporal data model should not only describe the data structure of cadastral objects, but also express cadastral spatio-temporal relationships between cadastral objects. In the past, many experts and scholars have proposed a variety of cadastral spatio-temporal data models, but few of them concentrated on...

Nowadays, geospatial information systems (GIS) are widely used to solve different spatial problems based on various types of fundamental data: spatial, temporal, attribute and topological relations. Topological relations are the most important part of GIS which distinguish it from the other kinds of information technologies. One of the important mechanisms for representing topological relations...
