Higher order vagueness is widely considered a necessary component of any theory of vagueness, but it is not so well known that it too is competently modelled by Type n Fuzzy sets. In this paper we explore the fuzzy representation of higher order vagueness with respect to spatial phenomena. Initially we relate the arguments on philosophical vagueness to Type n Fuzzy sets. As an example, we move on to an empirical generation of spatial Type 2 Fuzzy sets examining the spatial extent of mountain peaks in Scotland. We show that the Type 2 Fuzzy sets can be populated by using alternative parameterisations of a peak detection algorithm. Further ambiguities could also be explored using other parameters of this and other algorithms. We show some novel answers to interrogations of the mountain peaks of Scotland. The conclusion of this work is that higher order vagueness can be populated for Type 2 and higher fuzzy sets. It does not follow that it is always necessary to examine these higher order uncertainties, but a possible advantage in terms of the results of spatial inquiry is demonstrated.

[Termes IGN] voisinage (relation topologique)Résumé : (Auteur) Topological relations have played important roles in spatial query, analysis and reasoning. In a two-dimensional space (IR2), most existing topological models can distinguish the eight basic topological relations between two spatial regions. Due to the arbitrariness and complexity of topological relations between spatial regions, it is difficult for these models to describe the order property of transformations among the topological relations, which is important for detailed analysis of spatial relations. In order to overcome the insufficiency in existing models, a multi-level modeling approach is employed to describe all the necessary details of region–region relations based upon topological invariants. In this approach, a set of hierarchically topological invariants is defined based upon the boundary–boundary intersection set (BBIS) of two involved regions. These topological invariants are classified into three levels based upon spatial set concept proposed, which include content, dimension and separation number at the set level, the element type at the element level, and the sequence at the integrated level. Corresponding to these hierarchical invariants, multi-level formal models of topological relations between spatial regions are built. A practical example is provided to illustrate the use of the approach presented in this paper.

[Vedettes matières IGN] GénéralisationRésumé : (Auteur) The generalization of area features is a very important topic in digital map generalization, particularly in thematic map generalization. The operations used in area generalization, will cause changes in the geometry and thematic attributes of area features and the topological relationships between them. Very limited quantitative measures, especially for semantics, are available to describe the effect of generalization when multiple objects are involved or when the entire map needs to be characterized. Therefore, the aim of this study is to provide some quantitative measures for the changes (especially in semantics) that have occurred during generalization. A set of quantitative measures of data quality, i.e. accuracy, consistency, and completeness, has been developed to assess such effects. The effect of generalization on area features are compared between two approaches, geometry-based merging and theme-based aggregation. An experimental test has also been carried out to illustrate their differences in terms of the proposed quality measures, which demonstrates the practical usefulness of these measures.

[Vedettes matières IGN] GénéralisationRésumé : (Auteur) La généralisation des cartes modifie la sémantique et la géométrie des objets de la carte en fonction du contexte défini par les utilisateurs. L'évaluation et l'assurance de la qualité associées à cette généralisation sont devenues des éléments importants de la cartographie numérique contemporaine. Les modifications apportées à la sémantique après la généralisation ont été moins étudiées que les deux autres aspects (la géométrie et la topologie). La recherche porte sur l'effet des procédures de généralisation sur la sémantique des objets de la carte. Une série de mesures quantitatives pour les variations sémantiques ont été proposées. Une étude de cas à l'aide d'une carte d'utilisation du sol démontre la praticabilité des mesures proposées, et une procédure de regroupement illustre la généralisation des polygones. Les résultats révèlent que ces mesures sont non seulement solides en théorie, mais aussi significatives en pratique.

[Termes IGN] objet flouRésumé : (Auteur) Although most geographical entities represented as objects in a GIS have crisp boubaries, in relity they have indeterminate boundaries and fuzzy spatial extent. This is due to the fact that they are distributed continuously in space and time. Futhermore, measurement procedures generally produce data with a limited accuracy , which lead to the uncertain description of geographical entities. Because of these facts, uncertainties exist in the crisp object description of geographical entities. When temporal information is applied to analyze their change, these uncertainties will influence the final results of mapping. Therefor, the effects of the uncertainties on monitiring geographical entities should be studied, in order to provide accurate information to decision makers. This paper discusses the indeterminate nature of geographic entities and its effects on change detection when they are monitored through time. The concept of fuzzy objects and fuzzy change detection are applied to describe heterogeneous objects or objects with indeterminate boundaries. Several measures for fuzzy change detection are presented to evaluate the change processes of the objects. A pratical example of the dynamics of sediments along the Dutch coast is elaborated to demontrate the approach and the concepts proposed.
