Geolocating Orientational Descriptions of Landmark Configurations
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we outline how to translate verbal subjective descriptions of spatial relations into metrically meaningful positional information, and extend this capability to spatiotemporal monitoring. Document collections, transcriptions, cables, and narratives routinely make reference to objects moving through space over time. Integrating such information derived from textual sources into a geosensor data system can enhance the overall spatiotemporal representation in changing and evolving situations, such as when tracking objects through space with limited image data. We focus on landmark identification, since it proves to be a more tractable problem than open-domain image recognition.

Describing a craniofacial anomaly: finite elements and the biometrics of landmark locations.
An intergroup comparison of cephalometric landmark configurations by the finite-element method elegantly depicts the algebra of some of the size and shape change measures that one may define by reference to those landmarks. In studies of mean differences between groups, the statistical analysis of these finite elements is equivalent to competent statistical analysis of the same data using any o...
متن کاملInterplay Between Visual and Spatial: The Effect of Landmark Descriptions on Comprehension of Route/Survey Spatial Descriptions
Successful wayfinding requires accurate encoding of two types of information: landmarks and the spatial relations between them (e.g. landmark X is left/north of Y). Although both types of information are crucial to wayfinding, behavioral and neurological evidence suggest that they have different substrates. In this paper, we consider the nature of the difference by examining comprehension times...
متن کاملGenerating Underspecified Descriptions of Landmark Objects
We present an experiment to collect referring expressions produced by human speakers under conditions that favour landmark underspecification. The experiment shows that underspecified landmark descriptions are not only common but, under certain conditions, may be largely preferred over minimally and fully-specified descriptions alike.
متن کاملWhat is the right addressing scheme for India?
Computer generated addresses are coming to your neighborhood because most places in the world do not have an assigned meaningful street address. In India, 80% of the addresses are written with respect to a landmark which typically lies between 50-1500 meters of the actual address; such addresses make geolocating very challenging. Accuracy in geolocation is critical for emergency services to nav...
متن کاملEffects of visible and invisible cueing on line bisection and Landmark performance in hemispatial neglect.
A total of 12 patients with hemispatial neglect (and two control groups) were tested to examine the effects of lateralized cues on line bisection and Landmark judgements. The experiment was designed to investigate whether bisection and landmark biases induced by cueing are simply a result of a direct perceptual lengthening of the cued part of the line caused by the fact that the cue is visible,...
