Modelling English Spatial Preposition Detectors

2010
In this paper we present five algorithms for the detection of spatial relationships within an image: above/below, adjacent to, occlusion, between, and close to.

Qualitatively describing objects using spatial prepositions

[1993] Proceedings IEEE Workshop on Qualitative Vision, 2002
The paper presents a framework for a system that describes objects in a qualitative fashion. A subset of spatial prepositions is chosen and an appropriate quantification is applied to each of them that capture their inherent qualitative properties. The quantifications use such object attributes as area, centers, and elongation properties.

Before or After: Prepositions in Spatially Constrained Systems

2007
Cognitive agents use different strategies to identify relevant spatial information in communication. The chosen strategy depends on the agents' conceptualization of the spatial situation at hand. This situation is determined by structural and functional aspects that are induced by the environment and the actions performed or intended therein.

On Defining Motion Verbs and Spatial Prepositions

1990
In a computational system for describing and understanding descriptions of spatial relations and motion events in natural language (city scenes or soccer games, for example), there is a need for a referential semantics of motion verbs and spatial prepositions that is both structurally coherent and (ideally) general enough to be used for both ...

Interpretation of the Spatial Prepositions 'in front of' and 'behind'

International Journal of Behavioral Development, 1981
Children aged 4 to 9 years and adults were asked to place a cube or a ball 'in front of or 'behind' a featuredor a nonfeatured-object. Although most children and adults responded on the basis of the inherent features of the object, a significant number of adults responded to the observer orientation cue.
