Spatial relations are essential for understanding the image configuration and modeling common sense knowledge. In most of existing methods, topological, directional and distance s...
The maintenance of large raster images under spatial operations is still a major performance bottleneck. For reasons of storage space, images in a collection, such as satellite pi...
Data warehouses and On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) provide an analysis framework supporting the decision making process. In many application domains, complex analysis tasks ...
In many approaches for qualitative spatial reasoning, navigation of an agent in a more or less static environment is considered (e.g. in the double-cross calculus [12]). However, i...
Recording the location of people using location-acquisition technologies, such as GPS, allows generating life patterns, which associate people to places they frequently visit. Con...
