Spatial Complexity in Children's Language
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2000The purpose of this research was to explore the properties of locative scenes which influence the sequence of the acquisition of spatial prepositions in English. Children ranging in age from about 2;8 to 5;6 were tested with a comprehension test involving a sentence-picture matching task.

Complex landscapes of spatial interaction [PDF]
The Annals of Regional Science, 2000 Recently, Paul Krugman posed the intriguing question: ’How complex is the economic landscape? He was not thinking of mountains and rivers over which goods are transported and services channelled, but of an abstract landscape, one that represents the dynamics of resource allocation across activities and locations.

Image complexity and spatial information
2013 Fifth International Workshop on Quality of Multimedia Experience (QoMEX), 2013The complexity of an image tells many aspects of the image content and is an important factor in the selection of source material for testing various image processing methods. We explore objective measures of complexity that are based on compression.

Distance queries for complex spatial objects in oracle spatial
Proceedings of the 22nd ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems, 2014With the proliferation of global positioning systems (GPS) enabled devices, a growing number of database systems are capable of storing and querying different spatial objects including points, polylines and polygons. In this paper, we present our experience with supporting one important class of spatial queries in these database systems: distance ...

Simplicity in Complex Spatial Systems
2009In the past decade, complexity has become an important and fascinating domain for advanced research on nonlinear dynamics, in which a multiplicity of scientific fields are involved (physics, life sciences, social sciences, economics, geography, and so forth).

Complexities in spatial center derivation
Transactions in GIS, 2018AbstractThe center of a spatial object or set of objects is a rather straightforward and well understood descriptor. Beyond providing a statistically oriented interpretation of the middle of something, the center often has much significance in terms of locating services and activities, but may also represent a place of political/historical importance ...

Spatial Complexity, Psychology and Qualitative Complexity
2020How is spatial complexity perceived by humans? The study of spatial complexity is scale-dependent: a spatial entity that may look simple at some spatial level, may reveal many details if examined closer at finer spatial scales. To perceive complexity, we often resort to generalizations: thematic (grouping up similar themes, i.e.

Complexity and Spatial Networks
2009In the past decade, complexity has become an important and fascinating domain for advanced research on non-linear dynamics, in which a multiplicity of scientific fields are involved (physics, life sciences, social sciences, economics, geography, and so forth).

Spatial Complexity, Visual Complexity and Aesthetics
2020The concept of “visual complexity” is related to spatial complexity. From landscapes to paintings and fractals, aesthetic appeal is directly related to spatial complexity (or, at least, to its determinants). In this chapter, it is examined how and why: (a) neither spatial complexity nor simplicity guarantee aesthetic appeal; (b) quite often, neither ...

Spatial complexity is defined here as the difficulty to simplify the structure or form of a 2-and-higher-dimensional surface or object. The study of spatial complexity refers to the geographical space, to mathematically abstract spaces, to physical objects, or to any surface or object, in a n-dimensional space with n equal to two or higher.
