Spatio-Temporal Intelligence

<p>This book pioneers and systematically elucidates the disciplinary paradigm of Spatio-Temporal Intelligence, discussing the revolutionary progress in human capabilities regarding the perception, cognition, and decision-making of spatio-temporal information, driven by artificial intelligence. Taking the "moving material world" as its logical starting point, the book deeply dissects the essence and evolution of spatio-temporal information. It constructs a complete methodological system encompassing spatio-temporal data, intelligent perception of spatio-temporal data, mining and analysis, and large model technologies. Furthermore, this book expands the innovative applications of Spatio-Temporal Intelligence across vast domains such as aerospace, air-ground, air-sea, and deep space, and extends these to sectors vital to public well-being, including medicine and socio-economics. It emphasizes the feasibility of realizing collaborative observation and decision-making across "Space-Air-Ground-Sea" under the intelligent foundation of the "Integration of Communication, Navigation, Remote Sensing, and Computing" (CNRC).</p><p>Guided by the service principle of "4R" (Right Time, Right Place, Right Data, Right Person), the book is dedicated to answering six core questions: "When, Where, What Object, What Change, What Mechanism, and What Decision." It aims to propel traditional surveying and remote sensing toward a new paradigm centered on intelligence, providing a systematic theoretical framework and technical pathway for understanding complex spatio-temporal processes, constructing digital twin worlds, and achieving sustainable development.</p><p>This book is intended for researchers and engineers in fields such as surveying and mapping, remote sensing, geographic information, navigation, and artificial intelligence. It also serves as a systematic and authoritative reference for university faculty and students, policymakers, and technical developers. Through this book, readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of the disciplinary framework, core technologies, and application prospects of Spatio-Temporal Intelligence, laying a solid foundation for further research and engineering implementation.</p>
