Combined topological and directional relations based motion event predictions

Abstract

Spatial changes plays a fundamental role in modeling the spatio-temporal relations and spatio-temporal or motion event predictions. These predictions can be made through the conceptual neighborhood graph using the common sense continuity. This paper investigates that the extension in the temporal interval can effect the whole spatio-temporal relation and motion events. Spatio-temporal predicates form a unit of a motion event. We use the point temporal logic to extend the spatial predicates into the spatio-temporal or motion event predicates. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
