Fuzzy Spatial Reasoning

چکیده
We present a fuzzy version of the crisp spatial logic developed by Randell et al., which takes the single relation connected−with as primitive. Membership functions are defined for each spatial relation defined in the crisp theory. Furthermore, principles are presented for defining linguistic variables whose linguistic values are spatial relations. The work reported here addresses spatial reasoning in situations where numerical or geometric precision is unlikely; it is particularly suited for dynamic situations.

مدلسازی روابط توپولوژیک سه بعدی فازی در محیط GIS
Nowadays, geospatial information systems (GIS) are widely used to solve different spatial problems based on various types of fundamental data: spatial, temporal, attribute and topological relations. Topological relations are the most important part of GIS which distinguish it from the other kinds of information technologies. One of the important mechanisms for representing topological relations...
متن کاملIntegrating Bipolar Fuzzy Mathematical Morphology in Description Logics for Spatial Reasoning
Bipolarity is an important feature of spatial information, involved in the expression of preferences and constraints about spatial positioning or in pairs of opposite spatial relations such as left and right. Another important feature is imprecision which has to be taken into account to model vagueness, inherent to many spatial relations (as for instance vague expressions such as close to, to t...
متن کاملA Fuzzy Geospatial Ontology Model and Its Application in Geospatial Semantic Retrieval
Geospatial ontology plays a key role in Geospatial Semantic Retrieval (GSR), which provides support for query expansion and disambiguation, relevance ranking and web page annotation. However, existing ontologies are deficient in representing and reasoning fuzzy geospatial information, an important type of information that distributes widely in user’s queries and web pages. This paper proposes a...
متن کاملField-based Fuzzy Spatial Reasoning Model for Geographical Information Systems: Case of Constraint Satisfaction Problem
Humans’ representation in nature language about geographic phenomena is usually qualitative rather than quantitative. Qualitative spatial reasoning provides an approach which is considered to be closer to the representation. Commercial GIS software are confronted with a challenge that the software should be equipped with artificial intelligent functions like qualitative spatial reasoning for mo...
متن کاملFuzzy spatial relationships for image processing and interpretation: a review
In spatial reasoning, relationships between spatial entities play a major role. In image interpretation, computer vision and structural recognition, the management of imperfect information and of imprecision constitutes a key point. This calls for the framework of fuzzy sets, which exhibits nice features to represent spatial imprecision at different levels, imprecision in knowledge and knowledg...
