Description
Summary:In this paper, we present a formal spatiotemporal interval logic mechanism extended from Allen's interval temporal logic to the spatial context. The method contributes with a tool to help scientists and policy makers to reason about land use change. We use an interval-based approach and the concept of events to reason about land use changes trajectories resulting in a formalism that allows users to express queries about the land use. To show the use of our formalism we use it to identify and quantifying land use transitions in Mato Grosso state in Brazil from annual classified maps of land use.
