Abstract

Spatial direction relation is a basic concept in spatial cognition, which plays an important role in the fields of spatial database, artificial intelligence, robot, and so on. With the researches of spatial direction relation, the qualitative reaso-ning with spatial direction relations has gradually become a hot issue, which has received a lot of attention. In order to further introduce and explore the research status of qualitative spatial reasoning with directions, firstly, this paper combed and summarized the existing models for reasoning with directions in detail, compared and analyzed all kinds of models, and pointed out the characteristics and the applicable scope of all kinds of models. Then, it systematically surveyed the researches of spatial reasoning with direction relations including composition, inversion, consistency checking with direction relations for twodimensional, three-dimensional and uncertain objects and the researches of compound spatial reasoning based on direction, topology and distance. Finally, this paper discussed the current challenges and potential development trends.
