Abstract

From the aspect of basic characteristics of human cognition, a model for classification of topological relationships between two spatial objects, hierarchy model, is proposed. Then, the complete and mutual exclusion properties of the hierarchy model are proved. Finally, the capability of classification for hierarchy model is compared with that of the calculus-based method.
