Abstract
A dual representation of spatio-temporal phenomena whose observation is affected by uncertainty is proposed in the context of fuzzy set and possibility theory. The concept of fuzzy time validity of a snapshot of a dynamic phenomenon is introduced as well as the concept of possible spatial reference of the phenomenon at a given time instant. Then a mechanism to generate virtual snapshots of the phenomenon, showing its possible spatial reference at consecutive time instants, is described.
