A Method of Spatial Reasoning Based on Qualitative Trigonometry
Due to the lack of exact quantitative information or the difficulty associated with obtaining or processing such information, qualitative spatial knowledge representation and reasoning often become an essential means for solving spatial constraint problems as found in science and engineering. This paper presents a computational approach to representing and reasoning about spatial constraints in...
متن کاملA Theory for Qualitative Spatial Reasoning Based on Order Relations
What is needed for an analysis of the existing approaches to qualitative spatial reasoning and for a deeper understanding of the domain of space is a unifying theory that explains all of the concepts used for the representation of the different aspects of space by some primitive but well understood relations. In order to provide such primitive relations it will be shown that the concepts used i...
متن کاملShape Similarity Based on the Qualitative Spatial Reasoning Calculus eOPRAm
In our paper we investigate the use of qualitative spatial representations (QSR) about relative direction and distance for shape representation. Our new approach has the advantage that we can generate prototypical shapes from our abstract representation in first-order predicate calculus. Using the conceptual neighborhood which is an established concept in QSR we can directly establish a concept...
متن کاملModal Logics Based on Mathematical Morphology for Qualitative Spatial Reasoning
We propose in this paper to construct modal logics based on mathematical morphology. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First we show that mathematical morphology can be used to define modal operators in the context of normal modal logics. We propose definitions of modal operators as algebraic dilations and erosions, based on the notion of adjunction. We detail the particular case of mo...
متن کاملQualitative Spatial Reasoning
Physical space has unique properties which form the basis of fundamental capabilities of cognitive systems. This paper explores some cognitive aspects of perception and knowledge representation and explains why spatial knowledge is of particular interest for cognitive science. It is suggested that Ôspatial inference enginesÕ provide the basis for rather general cognitive capabilities inside and...
