Qualitative spatial reasoning forms an important part of the commonsense reasoning required for building intelligent Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Previous research has c...
In GIS and spatial databases, cardinal directions are frequently used as selection and join criteria in query languages. However, most cardinal direction models are only able to h...
Abstract. Besides topological relations and approximate relations, cardinal directions have turned out to be an important class of qualitative spatial relations. In spatial databas...
