Region Connection Calculus

Region Connection Calculus (RCC) is a system intended for qualitative spatial representation and reasoning. It abstractly describes regions in Euclidean or topological space by their possible relations to each other.

Areas of application

  • Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
  • Robotics and Automation
  • Computer Vision
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Spatial Databases
  • Environmental Modeling
  • Computer Aided Design (CAD)

Example

For example, RCC can be used to represent the layout of a city, where regions are defined as areas with specific connections between them (e.g. streets, parks).
