Modeling and prediction of moving region trajectories
Conny Junghans, Michael Gertz · 2010
Data about moving objects is being collected in many different application domains with the help of sensor networks, GPS-enabled devices, and in particular airborne sensors and satellites. Such moving objects often represent not just point-based objects, but rather moving regions like hurricanes, oil-spills, or animal herds. One key application feature users are often interested in is the exploration and prediction of moving object trajectories. While there exist models and techniques that help to predict the movement of moving point objects, no such method for moving regions has been proposed yet.
