| has gloss | eng: The region connection calculus (RCC) serves for qualitative spatial representation and reasoning. RCC abstractly describes regions (in Euclidean space, or in a topological space) by their possible relations to each other. RCC8 consists of 8 basic relations that are possible between two regions: * disconnected (DC) * externally connected (EC) * equal (EQ) * partially overlapping (PO) * tangential proper part (TPP) * tangential proper part inverse (TPPi) * non-tangential proper part (NTPP) * non-tangential proper part inverse (NTPPi) From these basic relations, combinations can be built. For example, proper part (PP) is the union of TPP and NTPP. |
