Interesting Interval Discovery on Spatiotemporal Datasets Csci 8715 Fall 2013
Sub-path of Abrupt Change • Spatial sub-path of Abrupt Change[1] • Sharp change in vegetation cover • Transition between ecological zones (ecotones) • Vulnerable to climate change • Moves in response to climate change W1=[12N, 17N] The change is persistent and rapid A snapshot of vegetation cover in Africa [6]
Sub-path of Abrupt Change • Temporal sub-path (interval) of Abrupt Change[1] • Abrupt shift in precipitation, temperature, etc. • Climate change detection. Raw Sahel precipitation anomaly (JJASO) Smoothed Sahel precipitation anomaly (JJASO)
Case Study Output Data: NDVI by GIMMS, Africa, 1981 August. Resolution: 8km. Smoothed within 1x1 degree. Path: along each longitude (south north) Interest measure: (Slope) Sameness degree ∆ : unit slope Thresholds:α= 20% percentile, SD ≥0.5 AVG{∆} AVG≥α{∆}
Potential Project ideas • Explore other interest measures to find interesting interval patterns • High correlations time periods between two time series • High variation periods of time series • Implement an R software[2] package and enable user defined interest measure [1].
