Towards Verified Construction for Planar Class of a Qualitative Spatial Representation

چکیده
PLCA is a framework for qualitative spatial reasoning that uses symbolic objects and the relationships between them. The second and third authors introduced inductive constructions to show construction of a PLCA expression. They also proved that expressions obtained by inductive constructions are planar (planarity) and that planar PLCA expressions can be obtained using inductive constructions (realizability). They proved the former using the Coq proof assistant, and proved the latter using a pen-and-paper proof. We tried to prove the latter using Coq, and identified some problems in the original inductive constructions and the proof. This paper reports these problems, and presents re-formalized inductive constructions and modified proofs. We were able to prove planarity and a base case of realizability with Coq, and used a pen-and-paper proof and Coq for the induction step of realizability.

A Qualitative Representation of a Figure and Construction of Its Planar Class
PLCA is a framework for qualitative spatial reasoning. It provides a symbolic expression of spatial entities and allows reasoning on this expression. A figure is represented using the objects used to construct it, that is, points, lines, circuits and areas, as well as the relationships between them without numerical data. The figure is identified by the patterns of connection between the object...
متن کاملConstruction of a Planar PLCA Expression: A Qualitative Treatment of Spatial Data
Qualitative spatial reasoning (QSR) is a method of representing spatial data by extracting necessary information depending on a user’s purpose, and allowing reasoning on this representation. Although many studies have examined QSR, little work has been carried out from the viewpoint of computational models, which are necessary for practical use in an implemented system. This paper presents a co...
متن کاملConstruction of a surface pencil with a common special surface curve
In this study, we introduce a new type of surface curves called $D$-type curve. This curve is defined by the property that the unit Darboux vector $vec{W}_{0} $ of a surface curve $vec{r}(s)$ and unit surface normal $vec{n} $ along the curve $vec{r}(s)$ satisfy the condition $leftlangle vec{n} ,vec{W}_{0} rightrangle =text{constant}$. We point out that a $D$-type curve is a geodesic curve or an...
متن کاملPlanelet Transform: A New Geometrical Wavelet for Compression of Kinect-like Depth Images
With the advent of cheap indoor RGB-D sensors, proper representation of piecewise planar depth images is crucial toward an effective compression method. Although there exist geometrical wavelets for optimal representation of piecewise constant and piecewise linear images (i.e. wedgelets and platelets), an adaptation to piecewise linear fractional functions which correspond to depth variation ov...
متن کاملLearning from Plane Graphs
Planar graphs form an interesting graph class as one encounters them in real world applications, e.g., the representation of images, construction plans and traffic maps. Despite the interest in this type of graphs, up to now there has been no in-depth study of the several learning tasks related to planar graphs and their tractability. In this paper, we make a first step in this direction. In pa...
