==== PhD thesis topic: atomic functions and graphics primitives for analyzing spatio-temporal fields. ====

In conditional analysis of spatio-temporal data, either spatial
snapshots are analysed using spatial tools (map algebra) and their results
considered over time, or time series at locations are analysed using time
series analysis tools, and later analysed spatially. For a complete,
unconditional analysis we need a new set of tools that generalize the
ideas of conditional analysis in space or time to tools that operate on
space and time. This requires first an exploration and implementation
of all methods that can be useful, new semantics for the function to be
used and for all the possible features that can be found, as words like
space-time interation or spatio-temporal change are too broad. Inspiration
will be sought by the 4D fields analysed in meteorology, where symbols
are used for gradients and expected movement. Other relevant terms,
such as "change", "growth", "move" will be explored in terms of (i)
how can they be identified, and (ii) how can they be visualized? 
This PhD reseach will come up with a complete set implemented of algebraic
functions and visualisation primitives for spatio-temporal fields. 
Primary interest is directed to the analysis of synthesized data and on
amazonian rain forest spectral and classified imagery.

this PhD could work at INPE or at IFGI, but spend some time at the other place
as well.
