Spread Histogram — A Method for Calculating Spatial Relations Between Objects

  • Conference paper
Computer Recognition Systems

Part of the book series: Advances in Soft Computing ((AINSC,volume 30))

Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach called Spread Histogram for calculation of spatial relations between objects. It allows to determine such relations as INSIDE, OUTSIDE, ENCOMPASS. Additionally, the method cooperates very well with standard histogram methods like Histogram of Angles for determining the directional spatial relations.
