“…However, as argued by Hu et al [8], if the relations are too abstract or coarse, they are impractical -they cannot model reachability among regions via different entry and exit points. Finally, cognitive models of indoor spaces [16,17] are interesting insofar as they cater for the representation of space from the perspective of humans. They are well-suited for generating route descriptions.…”

Abstract. This paper presents a graph-based spatial model which can serve as a reference for guiding pedestrians inside buildings. We describe a systematic approach to construct the model from geometric data. In excess of the well-known topological relations, the model accounts for two important aspects of pedestrian navigation: firstly, visibility within spatial areas and, secondly, generating route descriptions. An algorithm is proposed which partitions spatial regions according to visibility criteria. It can handle simple polygons as encountered in floor plans. The model is structured hierarchically -each of its elements corresponds to a certain domain concept ('room', 'door', 'floor' etc.) and can be annotated with meta information. This is useful for applications in which such information have to be evaluated.

“…The categorization was performed considering the importance of spatial imaging schemes, since they help individuals to relate previous experiences with current environmental understandings and in the relevance of these schematas for spatial applications (Kuhn and Frank 1991;Raubal 1997;Rüetschi and Timpf 2005).…”

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Spatially describing objects or environments is a natural and everyday task present in the daily lives of individuals. To portray the existing relationships between present elements of the scene described, it is necessary to use terms known as spatial relations. Frequently, such descriptions are performed using Natural Language (NL), both spoken and written. The existence of a constant interaction of human with the environment makes NL rich in terms that characterize space, resulting in a diversity of such words. The variety of terms used as spatial relations makes it difficult to implement spatial localization systems that use NL. Therefore, to understand how spatial relations are used, the present article aimed to detect and categorize such spatial relations. For this, an experiment of a spatial description of environments unknown by users was performed. The volunteers were native speakers of Brazilian Portuguese language and from the spatial descriptions were obtained locative expressions that allowed the definition and categorization of spatial relations using the Spatial Image Schemata. The results obtained demonstrated an attempt to understand the spatial relations used in spatial descriptions. In the future, we aim to define a set of spatial relations representative of the words used in a spatial description task.</p>
