Abstract

. Various relation-based systems, concerned with the representation and processing of spatial relations, have been developed in numerous application domains. In this thesis we identify the common concepts underlying qualitative spatial knowledge representation, we compare the representational properties of the different systems and we outline the computational tasks involved in relation-based spatial information processing. The thesis also proposes symbolic spatial indexes, relation-based structures which combine several ideas in spatial knowledge representation. A symbolic spatial index is an array that preserves only a set of spatial relations among distinct objects in an image, called the modelling space; the index array discards information, such as shape and size of objects, and irrelevant spatial relations. The construction of a symbolic spatial index from an input image can be thought of as a transformation that keeps only a set of representative points needed for the definition...
