Qualitative Directions in Egocentric and Allocentric Spatial Reference Frames
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we have presented a formalism for representation of and reasoning about directions in a qualitative way in two spatial reference frames, namely, an egocentric reference frame and an allocentric reference frame. Qualitative direction has been separated from dimensionality of spatial objects and as such, the formalism may be used to represent qualitative direction in a dimension-independent way. The formalism uses fewer numbers of base relations than existing formalisms and granularity can be refined easily. Algorithms for finding composition and converse of base relations have been presented. An example is presented to show how formal grammar can be used in conjunction with JEPD sets of qualitative relations for recognition of motion events involving any number of entities.

Qualitative Motion Representation in Egocentric and Allocentric Frames of Reference
In qualitative motion representation, frames of reference play an important role as well in measuring of the motion data as in representation and application of algorithms. This paper discusses motion representation in egocentric and allocentric frames of reference and begins with some general considerations on motion representation through qualitative distances and directions that apply to bot...

متن کاملAre All Spatial Reference Frames Egocentric? Reinterpreting Evidence for Allocentric, Object-Centered, or World-Centered Reference Frames
The use and neural representation of egocentric spatial reference frames is well-documented. In contrast, whether the brain represents spatial relationships between objects in allocentric, object-centered, or world-centered coordinates is debated. Here, I review behavioral, neuropsychological, neurophysiological (neuronal recording), and neuroimaging evidence for and against allocentric, object...
متن کاملOn Spatial Reference Frames in Qualitative Motion Representation
In the discussion of spatial representations in technical as well as in biological systems, frames of reference are of great importance. In this paper, we focus on spatial frames of reference in motion representation and stress that we have to introduce a distinction between frames of reference in measurement and in representation. We discuss some problems that arise in qualitative motion repre...
متن کاملRemembering object position in the absence of vision: egocentric, allocentric, and egocentric decentred frames of reference.
In three experiments we examined whether memory for object locations in the peri-personal space in the absence of vision is affected by the correspondence between encoding and test either of the body position or of the reference point. In particular, the study focuses on the distinction between different spatial representations, by using a paradigm in which participants are asked to relocate ob...
