Qualitative Spatial Reasoning about Oriented Points
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a qualitative positional calculus which uses oriented points as basic entities. In contrast to often-used simple points, we consider objects that have an intrinsic direction. Having an intrinsic orientation is an important property of natural objects.

Qualitative reasoning about relative direction of oriented points
An important issue in qualitative spatial reasoning is the representation of relative directions. In this paper we present simple geometric rules that enable reasoning about the relative direction between oriented points. This framework, the oriented point algebra OPRAm, has a scalable granularity m. We develop a simple algorithm for computing the OPRAm composition tables and prove its correctn...
متن کاملQualitative Reasoning about Relative Direction on Adjustable Levels of Granularity
An important issue in Qualitative Spatial Reasoning is the representation of relative direction. In this paper we present simple geometric rules that enable reasoning about relative direction between oriented points. This framework, the Oriented Point Algebra OPRAm, has a scalable granularity m. We develop a simple algorithm for computing the OPRAm composition tables and prove its correctness. ...
متن کاملReasoning about directions in an egocentric spatial reference frame
Within qualitative spatial reasoning, spatial objects having directions have been abstracted in different ways; directed line segments, oriented points etc. have been used. In certain applications, it becomes necessary to reason about directions of objects without focusing on the dimensionality of these objects. We present a framework for representation of and reasoning about directions in a qu...
متن کاملOriented Straight Line Segment Algebra: Qualitative Spatial Reasoning about Oriented Objects
Nearly 15 years ago, a set of qualitative spatial relations between oriented straight line segments (dipoles) was suggested by Schlieder. This work received substantial interest amongst the qualitative spatial reasoning community. However, it turned out to be difficult to establish a sound constraint calculus based on these relations. In this paper, we present the results of a new investigation...
متن کاملA Model for Integrated Qualitative Spatial and Dynamic Reasoning about Physical Systems
Qualitative spatial reasoning has many applications in such diverse areas as natural language understanding, cognitive mapping, and reasoning about the physical world. We address problems whose solutions require integrated spatial and dynamic reasoning. In this paper, we present our spatial representation, based on the extremal points of objects, and show that this representation is useful for ...
