Toward a Qualitative Model of 3D Visibility. Tassoni, S., Fogliaroni, P., Bhatt, M., & De Felice, G. In 25th International Workshop on Qualitative Reasoning (IJCAI 2011), 2011. (position paper).
abstract   bibtex   
Visibility information constitutes one of the core foundations underlying a range of spatial information and intelligent (spatial) assistance systems. Driven by the need to model and reason about visibility information within such systems, our work aims to develop a qualitative model of full-scale 3D visibility. We present a preliminary results of the proposed model, and also situate it within the context of past and ongoing work in this area. Our eventual goal is to develop a high-level, declarative framework that will seamlessly allow commonsense, qualitative reasoning about both visibility as well as spatial — topological, orientational, directional — knowledge.
