Mental Processing of Geographic Knowledge
نویسنده
چکیده
The contribution presents a computational modeling approach to geographic knowledge processing in mind. Geographic knowledge is assumed to be stored in a piecemeal manner. Spatial knowledge fragments form a hierarchical structure of lean knowledge. An actual mental image representation is constructed when needed to perform a specific task. In this construction process missing information is complemented to create a determinate mental image. – First, the artificial intelligence perspective taken is elaborated. After a short review of conceptions on mental processing of spatial knowledge from psychology and artificial intelligence we outline the model MIRAGE. The internal structure and the operating of the model is elaborated using an exemplary scenario. Problems in constructing mental images from given pieces of knowledge are demonstrated and discussed. The paper concludes with a discussion of the approach with respect to its modeling objective. We point to further research questions and to potential applications.

متن کاملEmpirical Evidence of Advanced Geographic Visualization Interface Use
Several advanced visual interface technologies have emerged in the past few years. Interfaces such as immersive virtual environments (VE) and augmented reality (AR) provide unique forms of interaction with spatial data that have often not been empirically investigated in the geographic visualization literature. At the same time as new interfaces emerge, we must develop an understanding of how t...

متن کاملIntegration of artificial neural network and geographic information system applications in simulating groundwater quality
Background: Although experiments on water quality are time consuming and expensive, models are often employed as supplement to simulate water quality. Artificial neural network (ANN) is an efficient tool in hydrologic studies, yet it cannot predetermine its results in the forms of maps and geo-referenced data. Methods: In this study, ANN was applied to simulate groundwater quality ...
