what's the difference between spatial and temporal characterization in terms of image processing?

I am a beginner in learning image processing and I am a bit confused with the concept of spatial and temporal characterization. So, for Spatial characterization, is it like a 2D map which contains some statistical information about the map? And in terms of the temporal characterization, is the value with respect to time? What does it mean and why do we care? Thanks!

What is the difference between temporal and spatial?

Spatial refers to space. Temporal refers to time. Spatiotemporal, or spatial temporal, is used in data analysis when data is collected across both space and time.

What is the difference between spatial and temporal variation?

(a) Under pure spatial variation, factors vary across a spatial transect but are constant from one time period to another. (b) Under pure temporal variation, factors vary from one time to another but are constant across space.

What is the difference between spatial information and temporal information?

These features embody either spatial or temporal information of a signal. Spatial features capture the change in space due to the movement, whereas temporal features represent time factors during the movement.

What is temporal processing in image processing?

Temporal Processing System (TPS) is a self-contained, real-time video processing and enhancement system with networking and connectivity features. It accepts all video input types and performs both day and nighttime video image enhancement. The image enhancement algorithms penetrate fog, haze and mirage artifacts.

Temporal characterization occurs when you have a series of images taken at different time. Correlations between the images are often used to monitor the dynamic changes of the object.

Spatial characterization applies when you are analyzing one image. It includes but not limited to the coordinates, intensity, gradient, resolution, to name only a few.

Check this paper on blood vessel analysis to get more details among the two.

Spatial = Space Example, Image consist of pixel values which needs memory space to store. Spatial information = Pixel values stored into Memory
Temporal = Time Example, Video consists of image frame sequence. With respect to time the frames are changed in video. This is called Temporal Information.
