GIS中的线目标可以表达现实中一类广泛存在的空间实体,如地铁线、管线、道路以及河流等。以线目标为研究对象,基于分解与组合的思想,提出一种线/线目标空间关系的集成表达方法。在整体上,将空间关系分解为拓扑、方向和距离关系3种,并以拓扑关系描述作为方向和距离信息的载体,通过纳入局部的方向关系和距离关系,来集成表达两个线目标间的各种类型空间关系信息。其中在线目标间拓扑关系、方向关系和距离关系描述时,分别将它们分解为一组局部关系(或基本关系),并通过对拓扑关系建立一定的排列顺序来进行描述。最后,通过一个简单例子说明本文提出的方法与Clementini和Di Felice(1998)的不同,以及本文方法对表达各种空间关系信息的可行性。
Spatial relations play an important role in spatial query,analysis and reasoning.However,how to represent various kinds of spatial relations in a unified form is still an open issue.In this paper,an integrated approach is presented for representing line-line spatial relations.In this approach,spatial relations are decomposed into three types,including topological,directional and distance,and topological relation acts as a most basic information chain to carry directional and distance constraints for an inte...
