An Image-Schematic Account of Spatial Categories
نویسنده
چکیده
How we categorize certain objects depends on the processes they afford: something is a vehicle because it affords transportation, a house because it offers shelter or a watercourse because water can flow in it. The hypothesis explored here is that image schemas (such as LINK, CONTAINER, SUPPORT, and PATH) capture the necessary abstractions to model affordances for spatio-temporal processes. To test the idea, I develop an algebraic theory formalizing image schemas and accounting for the role of affordances in categorizing spatial entities.

Cognitive Relations in the Semantics of Brazilian- Portuguese Preposition em
In this paper, we present a semantic description of the polysemy of BrazilianPortuguese preposition em, by following Ronald Langacker’s model of Schematic Network. We based our study on an introspective analysis of a 1.2-million-word corpus of journalistic texts published in three newspapers from major Brazilian cities between 2007 and 2008. A locative sense has long been ascribed to this word,...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Segmentation of Hyperspectral Images Based on Color Image Segmentation
Image segmentation is a fundamental approach in the field of image processing and based on user’s application .This paper propose an original and simple segmentation strategy based on the EM approach that resolves many informatics problems about hyperspectral images which are observed by airborne sensors. In a first step, to simplify the input color textured image into a color image without tex...
متن کاملModeling of spatial structure and development of plants
Developmental models of plant structure capture the spatial arrangement of plant components and their development over time. Simulation results can be presented as schematic or realistic images of plants, and computer animations of developmental processes. The methods of model construction combine a variety of mathematical notions and techniques, from regression analysis and function fitting to...
متن کامل3D measurement of human face by stereophotogrammetry
Furthermore, for encoding the object shape a special illumination is adapted which maps a sequence of about 20 statistically generated patterns onto the object (see figure 1). Therefore, every point of the object surface is characterized by an individual sequence of intensity values. This approach makes it possible to use a single sensor element for allocating homologous points. It is not neces...
متن کاملSpatial Representation and Production and Reproduction of the Mental Image: Lefebvre’s Trialectic Approach
Lefebvre's theory of space production has been very much considered. In particular, it is important to integrate it systematically into the categories of city and space as a comprehensive and comprehensible social theory. Lefebvre's theory of space production has been remarkable in recent years and has responded well to the many questions posed in the early 1970s. Lefebvre in his trialectic in ...
