Inference and Visualization of Spatial Relations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an approach to spatial inference which is based on the procedural semantics of spatial relations. In contrast to qualitative reasoning, we do not use discrete symbolic models. Instead, relations between pairs of objects are represented by parameterized homogeneous transformation matrices with numerical constraints. A textual description of a spatial scene is transformed into a graph with objects and annotated local reference systems as nodes and relations as arcs. Inference is realized by multiplication of transformation matrices, constraint propagation and verification. Constraints consisting of equations and inequations containing trigonometric functions can be solved using machine learning techniques. By assigning values to the parameters and using heuristics for the placement of objects, a visualization of the described spatial layout can be generated from the graph.

Bayesian Inference for Spatial Beta Generalized Linear Mixed Models
In some applications, the response variable assumes values in the unit interval. The standard linear regression model is not appropriate for modelling this type of data because the normality assumption is not met. Alternatively, the beta regression model has been introduced to analyze such observations. A beta distribution represents a flexible density family on (0, 1) interval that covers symm...
متن کاملQuantized spatial analysis: A new framework for analyzing the relations among the distributions of spatial objects
This paper develops a new framework for analyzing the relations among distributions of spatial objects. Existing analytical methods usually focus on the distribution of one or two specific types of spatial objects. This paper, on the other hand, deals with the relations among more than two distributions of spatial objects. The framework is applicable independent of the type of spatial objects. ...

Nowadays, geospatial information systems (GIS) are widely used to solve different spatial problems based on various types of fundamental data: spatial, temporal, attribute and topological relations. Topological relations are the most important part of GIS which distinguish it from the other kinds of information technologies. One of the important mechanisms for representing topological relations...
متن کاملRegional Economic Growth and Spatial Spillover Effects in MENA Area
T he main objective of this study is to estimate the spatial spillover effects of the economic growth among the selected countries of MENA region. For this purpose, the Spatial Durbin Model in the framework of spatial dynamic panel data was estimated during the period of 1970-2010. The spatial Diagnostic tests affirmed the occurrence of spatial positive autocorrelation phenomenon for...
متن کاملA Language Visualization System
In this thesis, a novel language visualization system is presented that converts natural language text into 3D scenes. The system is capable of understanding some concrete nouns, visualizable adjectives and spatial prepositions from full natural language sentences and generating 3D static scenes using these sentences. It is a rule based system that uses natural language processing tools, 3D mod...
