Abstract

We present a novel numerical optimisation based characterisation of spatial reasoning in the context of constraint logic programming (CLP). The approach —formalised and implemented within CLP— is developed as an extension to CLP(QS), a declarative spatial reasoning framework providing a range of mixed quantitative-qualitative spatial representation and reasoning capabilities. We demonstrate the manner in which the numerical optimisation based extensions further enhance the declarative spatial reasoning capabilities of CLP(QS).

We employ the egg-yolk method of modelling regions with indeterminante boundaries [6] to characterise a class of regions (including polygons) that satisfies topological and relative orientation relations [17]. Each egg-yolk region is an equivalence class for all regions that are contained within the upper approximation (the egg white), and completely contain the lower approximations (the egg yolk).

\({\text {CLP}}(\mathcal {QS})\) is implemented in SWI-Prolog, and we have integrated the geometric constraint solver FreeCAD www.​freecadweb.​org.
