Fuzzy region connection calculus: An interpretation based on closeness
One of the key strengths of the region connection calculus (RCC) -- its generality -- is also one of its most important drawbacks for practical applications. The semantics of all ...

Using a 3D Puzzle as a Metaphor for Learning Spatial Relations
We introduce a new metaphor for learning spatial relations--the 3D puzzle. With this metaphor users learn spatial relations by assembling a geometric model themselves. For this pu...

Modelling Spatial Relations by Generalized Proximity Matrices
One of the main challenges for the development of spatial information theory is the formalization of the concepts of space and spatial relations. Currently, most spatial data struc...

Sequential spatial reasoning in images based on pre-attention mechanisms and fuzzy attribute graphs
Spatial relations play a crucial role in model-based image recognition and interpretation due to their stability compared to many other image appearance characteristics, and graphs...
