Abstract

In order to analyse motion patterns for the purpose of making predictions and to explain the behaviour of systems methods are required for dealing with them. Difficulties in verbalising motion patterns for the purpose of communicating spatiotemporal situations, or in order to index spatiotemporal databases, indicate the importance of means which are simple to handle by human users. This paper proposes a set of sixteen atomic motion patterns which form the basis of a relation algebra. The relations are coarse but crisp, they allow imprecise knowledge about motion patterns to be dealt with, and they are easily accessible from the point of view of the user.
