Abstract:
A time-series data generating apparatus for generating, from time series I(t) of data distributed in space, time series P(t) of corresponding coordinates, comprising:interpolation curve generating means for receiving an incomplete set of said corresponding coordinates as input for generating an interpolation curve C(t) interconnecting said coordinates;candidate point extraction means for receiving said interpolation curve C(t) and a time series I(t) of data as inputs for extracting a group of candidate points Q of a coordinate P(ts) to be found at a time juncture ts devoid of a corresponding coordinate from the neighborhood of a position C(ts) of the interpolation curve at time ts;evaluated value calculating means for receiving said time ts, interpolation curve C(t), time series of data I(t) and a candidate point q of the group of candidate points as inputs for calculating an evaluated value e(q) for the candidate point q; andcandidate point selection means for receiving said evaluation value e(q) as an input for detecting the point q having the maximum or minimum evaluation value E.
