Changes in Topological Relations when Splitting and Merging Regions - School of Computing and Information Science

Published: Jan 1, 2006 Author(s): Egenhofer, Max J., Wilmsen, Dominik Abstract: This paper addresses changes in topological relations as they occur when splitting a region into two. It derives systematically what qualitative inferences can be made about binary topological relations when one region is cut into two pieces. The new insights about the possible topological relations obtained after read more
