Correlating Events with Tracked Movements in Time and Space: A GeoTime Case Study
Thomas Kapler, Robert Anthony Harper, William Wright · 2005
GeoTime is a new paradigm for visualizing events, connections and movement in a combined temporal and spatial visualization. This paper will show how this information visualization capability allows intelligence analysts to quickly reveal relationships between tracked movements and events of interest. Entity movement over time can be examined, without the need for animation, to reveal types and patterns of behavior, interactions, and deviations. A simple case study will be examined that effectively employs the GeoTime spatiotemporal visualization theory and analysis techniques. A hypothetical hit-and-run accident is used to show the movement of vehicles and their behaviors leading up to and after the event.
