Simulated example for the calculation of the Potential of death induction (P_death).

Three simulated deaths occur at 2 h, 9 h, and 11 h (first video sequence). The death signals are modeled by the construction of a signal wake (second video sequence), the duration of which depends on the dimension of the original death region (first video sequence). Then, a cumulative map is constructed by combining both spatial and temporal death influence (third video sequence) using . Finally, P_death is computed over time for the entire image area (bottom graph). Until t = 8 h, there is only one death, so there is no induction phenomenon. An additional death occurs at t = 9 h thus producing an induction phenomenon and an increase in potential. A third death occurs at t = 11 h thus producing a further increase in the potential value. Potential is also influenced by the absolute value of the map MC and by the distances of the different zones of death. From t = 12 h there is no more memory of the first death, hence only the last two death zones remain whose distance is larger than that of the two death zones involved in t = 9 h and 11 h, thus causing a decrease in potential.
