Closed Object Boundaries from Scattered Points (Lecture Notes in Computer Science)

Springer, 1994

This Ph.D. dissertation presents the result of research carried out between 1985 and 1992, first at Leiden University as a scientific assistant researcher, and later at CWI (Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science), Amsterdam, as a researcher on the NFI IIICAD project, funded by NWO (Dutch Organization for Scientific Research)...

Qualitative Representation of Spatial Knowledge (Lecture Notes in Computer Science / Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence)

Springer, 1994

Cognitive spatial concepts are qualitative in nature, i.e., they are based not so much on exact quantities but on comparisons between perceived magnitudes. We develop a qualitative model for the representation of spatial knowledge (in particular, of positional information about 2-dimensional projections) that is based only on locative...
