Spatial Analysis in curved spaces with Non-Euclidean Geometry
author
Abstract:
The ultimate goal of spatial information, both as part of technology and as science, is to answer questions and issues related to space, place, and location. Therefore, geometry is widely used for description, storage, and analysis. Undoubtedly, one of the most essential features of spatial information is geometric features, and one of the most obvious types of analysis is the geometric type and quantitative measures on such data. Most of the geometric analyzes and measurements used in different sections are based on Euclidean geometry. In other words, most of the known geometric analyzes are based on the assumption that only one line parallel to another line can be drawn from a point outside the line. Therefore, for example, the sum of the internal angles of a triangle should be 180 degrees, and regular tessellation in the plane is possible with only three types of regular polygons. In non-Euclidean geometries, the mentioned assumption and the results of following it are violated and no longer valid. The purpose of this research is to explain the need to use Non-Euclidean geometry. In this research, it is practically shown that location-based social networks or sensor networks can be addressed in the context of non-Euclidean geometry. This research also shows that the geometry governing the location-based social network is a hyperbolic geometry with negative curvature. This fact can be very effective to solve the problems such as routing and clustering. Moreover, the use of Non-Euclidean tessellations is a suitable tool for providing the user's current location service on the map in mobile and ubiquitous GIS.

Euclidean Geometry before non-Euclidean Geometry
In [3], in my argument for the primacy of Euclidean geometry on the basis of rigid motions and the existence of similar but non-congruent triangles, I wrote the following: A: “The mobility of rigid objects is now recognized as one of the things every normal human child learns in infancy, and this learning appears to be part of our biological progaramming.” B. “. . . we are all used to thinking ...
full textSpatial reasoning with RCC8 and connectedness constraints in Euclidean spaces
The language RCC8 is a widely-studied formalism for describing topological arrangements of spatial regions. The variables of this language range over the collection of non-empty, regular closed sets of n-dimensional Euclidean space, here denoted RC(Rn), and its non-logical primitives allow us to specify how the interiors, exteriors and boundaries of these sets intersect. The key question is the...
full textEmbedding non-Euclidean color spaces into Euclidean color spaces with minimal isometric disagreement.
Isometric embedding of non-Euclidean color spaces into Euclidean color spaces is investigated. Owing to regions of nonzero Gaussian curvature within common non-Euclidean color spaces, we focus on the determination of transformations into Euclidean spaces with minimal isometric disagreement. A computational method is presented for deriving such a color space transformation by means of a multigri...
