On the Evaluation and Comparison of Region Interpolation Methods

Abstract. This work presents a methodology for the comparison and evaluation of region interpolation methods proposed in the spatiotemporal databases literature. An evaluation performed using the methodology proposed is also presented. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time that such a methodology is discussed and presented in the spatiotemporal databases literature, and that region interpolation methods are evaluated and compared using the same dataset and using data from the evolution of real-world phenomena.
