[11] Spatiotemporal Mathematical Framework for Target Tracking & Anomaly Detection

Author's Note & Research Context: The mathematical models and algorithmic solutions in this document were developed through an iterative process of active consultation, dialogue, and in-depth research with Artificial Intelligence (AI). The author hopes this material serves as a useful reference to help professionals, engineers, and researchers currently working in this field explore, expand, and further develop spatiotemporal tracking and monitoring systems. Spatial Network Graph: Represents urban infrastructure, intersections, or checkpoints as a weighted spatiotemporal graph with nodes and actual travel duration weights. Spatiotemporal Constraint Filtering: Automatically scans and eliminates invalid travel routes that fail to satisfy velocity and travel time conservation laws. Graph Anomaly Detection: Measures network deformation energy to precisely locate network nodes undergoing unusual perturbations or where a target is localized. Bayesian Predictive Routing: Calculates posterior probabilities to determine the highest-probability subsequent routes, enabling operations teams to proactively position resources for interception. Python Core Engine Implementation: Provides a complete, ready-to-use Python class (SpatiotemporalTracker) designed for direct integration into real-world databases for automated execution.
