Conceptual Neighbourhood Diagrams for Representing Moving Objects
نویسندگان
چکیده
The idea of Conceptual Neighbourhood Diagram (CND) has proved its relevance in the areas of qualitative reasoning about time and qualitative reasoning about space. In this work, a CND is constructed for the Qualitative Trajectory Calculus (QTC), being a calculus for representing and reasoning about movements of objects. The CND for QTC is based on two central concepts having their importance in the qualitative approach: the theory of dominance and the conceptual distance between qualitative relations. Some examples are given for illustrating the use and the potentials of the CND for QTC from the point of view of GIScience.

Development of a conceptual model for asthma management system in primary care
Introduction: Asthma is uncontrolled in more than half of asthma patients due to inadequate and incorrect management. The main reasons for inadequate management are non-adherence, inadequate knowledge of a general practitioner about patientchr('39')s clinical condition, and not following asthma management guidelines The purpose of this study was to develop a conceptual model for the asthma mana...
متن کاملExtending the Qualitative Trajectory Calculus Based on the Concept of Accessibility of Moving Objects in the Paths
Qualitative spatial representation and reasoning are among the important capabilities in intelligent geospatial information system development. Although a large contribution to the study of moving objects has been attributed to the quantitative use and analysis of data, such calculations are ineffective when there is little inaccurate data on position and geometry or when explicitly explaining ...
متن کاملTHEORY AND METHODS Uncovering neighbourhood influences on intimate partner violence using concept mapping
While neighbourhood influences on the risk of intimate partner violence have been reported, this body of research has suffered from a lack of strong theoretical and conceptual guidance, and few studies have examined the potential pathways from neighbourhoods to intimate partner violence. This paper used concept mapping methods with 37 women who were residents of Baltimore City to obtain cluster...

متن کاملMeasures of Similarity Between Objects Based on Qualitative Shape Descriptions
A computational approach for comparing qualitative shape descriptions (QSDs) of objects within digital images is presented. First, the dissimilarity of qualitative features of shape is measured: (i) intuitively using conceptual neighbourhood diagrams; and (ii) mathematically using interval distances. Then, a similarity measure between QSDs is defined and tested using images of different categor...
