by Gottfried, Björn
Abstract:
A new approach to qualitatively describe shapes is introduced. A set of qualitatively distinct polygons is proposed, which can be characterised by a number of predicates. Interesting properties concerning the similarity of different polygons arise. As a result, the difficulty in defining equivalence classes of polygons can be overcome in a special qualitative manner. The usefulness of this approach is illustrated by describing shapes of objects. These qualitative descriptions are less constrained than metrical shape descriptions, but distinguish shapes in a perceivable salient way.
