This study introduces new definitions for the spatial relation "between," addressing limitations in existing literature. The proposed fuzzy and contextual definitions improve accuracy for complex object shapes and visibility in medical imaging.

Area of Science:

  • Spatial cognition
  • Computational geometry
  • Image analysis

Background:

  • Existing definitions of the spatial relation 'between' are inadequate, failing to account for object shape, concavities, and varying object extensions.
  • Current models do not intuitively handle cases where one object is in a non-visible concavity of another.
  • The literature lacks robust definitions for the 'between' relation involving objects with significantly different spatial extensions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose novel, fuzzy, and contextual definitions for the spatial relation 'between'.
  • To address limitations of existing definitions, particularly concerning non-visible concavities and objects of disparate sizes.
  • To develop a more intuitive and accurate understanding of spatial relationships in object interactions.

Main Methods:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Utilized principles of convexity and morphological operators for object analysis.
  • Incorporated a fuzzy notion of visibility to enhance spatial relation accuracy.
  • Developed distinct definitions for objects with similar versus dissimilar spatial extensions.
  • Extended definitions to accommodate fuzzy objects and three-dimensional spatial contexts.

Main Results:

  • The proposed definitions accurately capture intuitive exceptions to the 'between' relation, including non-visible concavities.
  • New frameworks effectively handle spatial relationships between objects of varying lengths and complexities.
  • The approach demonstrates improved handling of intrinsic imprecision inherent in spatial relations.
  • Definitions were validated using real-world data from medical imaging.

Conclusions:

  • The novel definitions provide a more comprehensive and intuitive understanding of the spatial relation 'between'.
  • This work overcomes significant limitations of prior approaches, enhancing spatial analysis in fields like medical imaging.
  • The fuzzy and contextual nature of the definitions allows for greater precision in complex spatial scenarios.
