abstract: |
Spatial relations are of great importance for image
understanding. In this paper we focus on the “surround”
relation. We propose to represent the relation
as a fuzzy set in the spatial domain, which
considers the imprecision of the relation itself, the
morphology of the reference object, and the distance
to the target object. This fuzzy set represents the
region which surrounds some reference objects. The
degree to which another object satisfies this relation
with respect to the reference object can then be derived.
The definition is illustrated on real objects
with complex shapes from satellite images. |
