Definition
Spatio-temporal data is any information relating space and time. This entry specifically considers data involving point objects moving over time. The terms entity and trajectory will refer to such a point object and the representation of its movement, respectively. Movement patterns in such data refer to (salient) events and episodes expressed by a set of entities.
In the case of moving animals, movement patterns can be viewed as the spatio-temporal expression of behaviors, as for example in flocking sheep or birds assembling for the seasonal migration. In a transportation context, a movement pattern could be a...
