A Spatio-temporal Data Mining Method for Dynamic Monitoring of Land use

摘要

This study investigated how to manage and use the spatio-temporal data during land use. To realize spatio-temporal data mining, the key issue to be solved in technology is how to organize spatio-temporal data. The spatio-temporal data model is just generated to solve this problem. According to analysis of spatio-temporal data changing character, two factors are very important in spatio-temporal data model. One is object, and the other is event. The object is an essential element that comprises spatio-temporal data information. The event is a fundamental factor that result in changing spatio-temporal data. A new spatio-temporal data model based on both object and event (OESTDM) was put forward to meet the demand. How to organize data, build relations between objects and storage data in spatio-temporal database are also emphatically discussed. At last, a dynamic land use information system based on OESTDM is presented. The system realized the function of managing spatio-temporal data, the retrospect of history information, tracing land parcel change, Area-Data-Change-Statistic and Analysis, and so on efficiently, by taking the land parcel data of some regions in Zhejiang province for study.
