Abstract:

Spatial relationships play an important role in spatial query language, data retrieval and spatial analysis. However, the current research of spatial relations are hard to realize the unified expression and calculation of spatio-temporal objects of multi-granularity. In this paper, the spatial relationships computing operators of the simple objects are designed based on the type-independence and dimension-independence characteristics of GA operators. The operators are then generalized to spatio-temporal objects of multi-granularity by the union operator. Lastly, we realized the unified expression and calculation of three kinds of spatial relationships for the spatio-temporal objects of multi-granularity under the framework of pan-spatial GIS. The triangulation intersection algorithm is raised as an example to prove the reliability of our methods. Our research also provides the reference for expression and calculation of spatial relationships in pan-spatial GIS.
