What I did on my vacation: spatio-temporal log analysis with interactive graphics and morphometric surface derivative

Developments in computing and mobile communications mean that massive amounts of data are being produced.MacEachren & Kraak (2001) report that up to 85% of the million terabytes or so of digital data generated every year (Lyman et al., 2000) has a spatial component.This has at least two important consequences for GI science : more spatial data is being generated and new techniques are required to analyse and summarise it ; advantage may be gained from managing data that are not traditionally considered to be spatial in a geographic framework.The research presented here focuses on the former issue.It may result in insight that is of benefit to those undertaking the latter with a view to providing location-based services (LBS) and the like.
