Direction relations between extended spatial objects are important commonsense knowledge. Recently, Goyal and Egenhofer proposed a formal model, called Cardinal Direction Calculus...
We present a formal model for qualitative spatial reasoning with cardinal directions utilizing a co-ordinate system. Then, we study the problem of checking the consistency of a se...
Qualitative spatial reasoning forms an important part of the commonsense reasoning required for building intelligent Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Previous research has c...
Like people who casually assess similarity between spatial scenes in their routine activities, users of pictorial databases are often interested in retrieving scenes that are simil...
Cardinality estimation during query optimization relies on simplifying assumptions that usually do not hold in practice. To diminish the impact of inaccurate estimates during opti...
