摘要：The description of spatial configurations plays a fundamental role in content-based retrieval and in the design of user interfaces, as this description is often the basis for the specification of query constraints. In this paper we present measures that capture the content description of spatial configurations as quantitative values that reflect characteristics of individual objects and relations among objects. These content measures are evaluated in terms of their ability to d istinguish topological relations, and they are used to compare spatial configurations. Such content measures are suitable for similarity-based retrieval and indexing schemas of spatial configurations
