摘要
The property of NP_completeness of topologic spatial reasoning problem has been proved.According to the similarity of uncertainty with topologic spatial reasoning,the problem of directional spatial reasoning should be also an NP_complete problem.The proof for the property of NP_completeness in directional spatial reasoning problem is based on two important transformations.After these transformations,a spatial configuration has been constructed based on directional constraints,and the property of NP_completeness in directional spatial reasoning has been proved with the help of the consistency of the constraints in the configuration.
The property of NP-completeness of topologic spatial reasoning problem has been proved. According to the similarity of uncertainty with topologic spatial reasoning, the problem of directional spatial reasoning should be also an NP-complete problem. The proof for the property of NP-completeness in directional spatial reasoning problem is based on two important transformations. After these transformations, a spatial configuration has been constructed based on directional constraints, and the property of NP-completeness in directional spatial reasoning has been proved with the help of the consistency of the constraints in the configuration.
