Reasoning about Spatial Relationships in Picture Retrieval Systems
Summary: Defines sound inference rules for spatial relationships in content-based picture retrieval, enabling deduction during query processing. The rules are complete for consistent 3D relationship sets but provably incomplete in 2D. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
