A Logic-based Formalism for Reasoning about Visual Representations

نویسنده

  • Volker Haarslev
چکیده

This article presents a logic-based formalism for formal reasoning about visual representations. This formalism is based on previous work about describing visual notations [Haarslev, 1998a]. However, in this article we discuss major extensions to this formalism providing decidable reasoning mechanisms that support truly spatial domains such as geographical information systems (GIS). We demonstrate the application of this formalism to specifying semantics of visual query languages for GIS and to meta reasoning about spatial queries.

A Logic-based Formalism for Reasoning about Visual Representations (Extended Abstract)

This paper presents a logic-based formalism for formal reasoning about visual representations. This formalism is based on previous work about describing visual notations (Haarslev 1998). However, in this paper we discuss major extensions to this formalism providing decidable reasoning mechanisms that support truly spatial domains such as geographical information systems (GIS). We sketch out the...

Default Reasoning for Forensic Visual Surveillance based on Subjective Logic and Its Comparison with L-Fuzzy Set Based Approaches

Default reasoning can provide a means of deriving plausible semantic conclusion under imprecise and contradictory information in forensic visual surveillance. In such reasoning under uncertainty, proper uncertainty handling formalism is required. A discrete species of Bilattice for multivalued default logic demonstrated default reasoning in visual surveillance. In this article, the authors pres...

From Visual to Logical Representation A GIS-Based Sketching Tool for Reasoning about Plans

Abstract: Multi-modal and heterogeneous logic reasoning is of increasing importance within the AI community. The GIS based ArcView COA Sketcher (ArCS) sketch and translation tool developed under DARPA’s High Performance Knowledge Bases program is an example of an enabling tool towards that goal. Army Course of Action (COA) sketches can be drawn and translated automatically into statements in a ...

Using Description Logic for Reasoning about Diagrammatical Notations

This paper summarizes research [1; 2; 3] about a fully implemented logical framework to develop axiomatizations defining meaningful “constellations” of abstract diagrammatical objects. The proposed framework is based on a spatial logic for describing qualitative spatial relationships between objects and on description logic (DL) as specification formalism. The framework was successfully applied...

Defeasible Reasoning and Partial Order Planning

Argumentation-based formalisms provide a way of considering the defeasible nature of reasoning with partial and often erroneous knowledge in a given environment. This problem affects every aspect of a planning process. We will present an argumentation-based formalism that an agent could use for constructing plans starting from a previously introduced formalism. In such a formalism, agents repre...
