Indexing Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Data for Efficient Querying: A Meteorological Application

2015-10-01
Spatiotemporal data, in particular fuzzy and complex spatial objects representing geographic entities and relations, is a topic of great importance in geographic information systems and environmental data management systems. For database researchers, modeling and designing a database of fuzzy spatiotemporal data and querying such a database efficiently have been challenging issues due to complex spatial features and uncertainty involved. This paper presents an integrated approach to modeling, indexing, and efficiently querying spatiotemporal data related to fuzzy spatial and complex objects and spatial relations. As our case study, we design and implement a meteorological database application that involves fuzzy spatial and complex objects, and a spatiotemporal index structure, and supports various types of spatial queries including fuzzy spatiotemporal queries. Our implementation is based on an intelligent database system architecture that combines a fuzzy object-oriented database with a fuzzy knowledge base.

Using fuzzy Petri nets for static analysis of rule-bases
Bostan-Korpeoglu, B; Yazıcı, Adnan (2004-01-01)
We use a Fuzzy Petri Net (FPN) structure to represent knowledge and model the behavior in our intelligent object-oriented database environment, which integrates fuzzy, active and deductive rules with database objects. However, the behavior of a system can be unpredictable due to the rules triggering or untriggering each other (non-termination). Intermediate and final database states may also differ according to the order of rule executions (non-confluence). In order to foresee and solve problematic behavior...
Real-time 2D/3D display of dted maps and evaluation of interpolation algorithms
Demir, Ali; Coşar, Ahmet; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2010)
In Geographic Information System (GIS) applications, aster data constitutes one of the major data types. The displaying of the raster data has an important part in GIS applications. Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) is one of the raster data types, which is used as the main data source in this thesis. The DTED data is displayed on the screen as digital images as a pixel value, which is represented in gray scale, corresponding to an elevation (texel). To draw the images, the texel values are mostly inter...
