Integrating Cross-Scale Analysis In The Spatial And Temporal Domains For Classification Of Behavioral Movement, Ali Soleymani, Jonathan Cachat, Kyle Robinson, Somayeh Dodge, Allan Kalueff, Robert Weibel

Journal of Spatial Information Science

Since various behavioral movement patterns are likely to be valid within different unique ranges of spatial and temporal scales (e.g. instantaneous diurnal or seasonal) with the corresponding spatial extents a cross-scale approach is needed for accurate classification of behaviors expressed in movement. Here we introduce a methodology for the characterization and classification of behavioral movement data that relies on computing and analyzing movement features jointly in both the spatial and temporal domains. The proposed methodology consists of three stages. In the first stage focusing on the spatial domain the underlying movement space is partitioned into several zonings that correspond to …

In recent years, the use of addictive drugs and substances has turned out to be a challenging social problem worldwide. The illicit use of these types of drugs and substances appears to be increasing among elementary and high school students. After becoming addicted to drugs, life becomes unbearable and gets even worse for their users. Scientific studies show that it becomes extremely difficult for an individual to break this habit after being a user. Hence, preventing teenagers from addiction becomes an important issue. This study focuses on an urgent precaution system that helps families and educators prevent teenagers from developing …
