Abstract. This paper extends a mereotopological theory of spatiotemporal reasoning to vague ”egg-yolk” regions. In this extension, the egg and its yolk are allowed to move and ...
In this paper, we present PelletSpatial, a qualitative spatial reasoning engine implemented on top of Pellet. PelletSpatial provides consistency checking and query answering over s...
Much work has been done in the area of qualitative spatial reasoning over the past years, with application in various domains. However, existing models only capture particular asp...
Diagrammatic reasoning (DR) is pervasive in human problem solving as a powerful adjunct to symbolic reasoning based on language-like representations. The research reported in this...
Topological relations are important in various tasks of spatial reasoning, scene description and object recognition. The RCC8 spatial constraint language developed by Randell, Cui...
