Reasoning about Spatial Relationships in Picture Retrieval Systems
Summary: Rule-based deductive framework for spatial relations in pictorial databases to enable content-based image retrieval. Soundness established; complete for 3D relations, but incomplete for 2D, revealing dimensionality limits of spatial reasoning in pictorial query processing. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
