  2. Geopositioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geopositioning

    Two or more objects of known position are sighted, and the bearings recorded. Bearing lines are then plotted on a chart through the locations of the sighted items. The intersection of these lines is the current position of the vessel. Usually, a fix is where two or more position lines intersect at any given time.

  3. Spatial ability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_ability

    In rigid manipulations, the object itself is not changed but rather its spatial position or orientation is, whereas in non-rigid transformations like mental folding the object and shapes are changed. [22] Mental folding in tasks usually require a series of mental rotations to sequentially fold the object into a new one.

  4. Principle of locality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_locality

    Simple spacetime diagrams can help clarify the issues related to locality. [2] A way to describe the issues of locality suitable for discussion of quantum mechanics is illustrated in the diagram. A particle is created in one location, then split and measured in two other, spatially separated, locations. The two measurements are named for Alice ...

  5. Cognitive map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_map

    The integration of this information in the hippocampus makes the hippocampus a practical location for cognitive mapping, which necessarily involves combining information about an object's location and its other features. [19] O'Keefe and Nadel were the first to outline a relationship between the hippocampus and cognitive mapping. [8]

  6. Spatial contextual awareness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_Contextual_Awareness

    For example, computer vision and object based indexing can be used to both identify an object and assist a user in navigating from the location. Spatial contextual awareness plays a key role in this process as it provides an initial geo-reference of the location while simplifying the object recognition process to a manageable degree. [14]

  7. Spatial relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_relation

    A spatial relation [1] [2] specifies how some object is located in space in relation to some reference object. When the reference object is much bigger than the object to locate, the latter is often represented by a point. The reference object is often represented by a bounding box.

  8. Body relative direction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_relative_direction

    A non-flipped image of a right-handed Cartesian coordinate system, illustrating the x (right-left), y (forward-backward) and z (up-down) axes relative to a human being.Body relative directions (also known as egocentric coordinates) [1] are geometrical orientations relative to a body such as a human person's body or a road sign.

  9. Feature integration theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_integration_theory

    These multiple feature maps, or sub-maps, contain a large storage base of features. Features such as color, shape, orientation, sound, and movement are stored in these sub-maps [1] [2].When attention is focused at a particular location on the map, the features currently in that position are attended to and are stored in "object files". If the ...
