Similarity of Spatial Scenes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Similarity is the assessment of deviation from equivalence. Spatial similarity is complex due to the numerous constraining properties of geographic objects and their embedding in space. Among these properties, the spatial relations between geographic objects—topological, directional, and metrical—are critical, because they capture the essence of a scene’s structure. These relations can be categorized as a basis for similarity assessment. This paper describes a computational method to formally assess the similarity of spatial scenes based on the ordering of spatial relations. One scene is transformed into another through a sequence of gradual changes of spatial relations. The number of changes required yields a measure that is compared against others, or against a pre-existing scale. Two scenes that require a large number of changes are less similar than scenes that require fewer changes.

Online multiple people tracking-by-detection in crowded scenes
Multiple people detection and tracking is a challenging task in real-world crowded scenes. In this paper, we have presented an online multiple people tracking-by-detection approach with a single camera. We have detected objects with deformable part models and a visual background extractor. In the tracking phase we have used a combination of support vector machine (SVM) person-specific classifie...
متن کاملSpatial-Scene Similarity Queries
Assessing spatial scenes for similarity is difficult from a cognitive and computational perspective. Solutions to spatial-scene similarity assessments are sensible only if corresponding elements in the compared scenes are identified correctly. This matching process becomes increasingly complex and error-prone for large spatial scenes as it is questionable how to choose one set of associations o...

Complex multi-holed-region entity scenes (i.e., sets of random region with holes) are common in spatial database systems, spatial query languages, and the Geographic Information System (GIS). A multi-holed-region (region with an arbitrary number of holes) is an abstraction of the real world that primarily represents geographic objects that have more than one interior boundary, such as areas tha...
متن کاملPatterns of response to visual scenes are linked to the low-level properties of the image
Scene-selective regions in the brain play an important role in the way that we navigate through our visual environment. However, the principles that govern the organization of these regions are not fully understood. For example, it is not clear whether patterns of response in scene-selective regions are linked to high-level semantic category or to low-level spatial structure in scenes. To addre...
