Determining Minimal Transitions between VRCC-3D+ Relations

Abstract

3D models are used in many problem domains. Typically the spatial relations between objects are approximated as necessary for human recognition of an image. for some applications, this may be insufficient; a more precise analysis may be required, and a temporal sequence of configurations of the objects may need to be considered. VRCC-3D+ is the implementation of a Region Connection Calculus (RCC) that qualitatively determines the spatial relations between 3D objects, both in terms of connectivity and obscuration. Herein we discuss how this system can be used to validate hypotheses of spatial transformation over time, and generate possible intermediate configurations. Such analyses have been performed manually in research fields such as organism evolution and development. Automation of this process has the potential to improve both the efficiency and precision of such investigations.
