Statement of the problem Discovering causal relationship “behavior - event” - What type of behavior has initiated the event? - What phenomenon has initiated the event? Application - geomagnetic storms forecasting; SOHO - Complexity of the task - What is the delay between the event and the moment of its initiation? - Can use “passive observation” only Objective of the research: Development of an algorithm for discovering temporary correlations
Model assumptions Data = Sequence of scene images Scene = Set of objects Lifetime of objects >> Registration rate Object = Set of features Phenomenon = Unknown combination of features Event: - Initiated by unknown phenomenon within “Initiation duration” - Search interval >> Initiation duration - Limited number of events’ types - Fixed (unknown) delay for a given type of event Find the most probable phenomenon and delay
Scheme of the algorithm
Model experiment 1: Single event
Model experiment 2: Two events
