Two sequences ( 13, 15 ) of data sets ( 14, 16 ) having at least two dimensions and referring to an object ( 17 ) which changes over time are specified to a computer ( 1 ). Each data set ( 14, 16 ) in each sequence ( 13, 15 ) is assigned a measure of time which can be used to determine the temporal relationship of the data sets ( 14, 16 ) to the other data sets ( 14, 16 ) in the respective sequence ( 13, 15 ). The computer ( 1 ) compares the first data set ( 14 ) in the first sequence ( 13 ) with the data sets ( 16 ) in the second sequence ( 15 ) and automatically determines a first data set ( 16 ) from the second sequence ( 15 ) corresponding to a first data set ( 14 ) from the first sequence ( 13 ). With the aid of the corresponding first data sets ( 14, 16 ) in the first and second sequences ( 13, 15 ) and the measures of time assigned to the data sets ( 14, 16 ), the computer then determines, for each of the other data sets ( 14 ) in the first sequence, the corresponding data set ( 16 ) from the second sequence.
