Thus, the degree of applicability is defined which specifies from 0 till 100% how strongly a spatial relation holds.
In cognitive development for walk and for catch objects, or for understand objects-behaviour; in robotic Natural Features Navigation; and many other areas, spatial relations plays a central role.
The DE-9IM model expresses important space relations which are invariant to rotation, translation and scaling transformations.
For human thinking, spatial relations include qualities like size, distance, volume, order, and, also, time: Time is spatial: it requires understanding ordered sequences such as days of the week, months of the year, and seasons.
Stockdale and Possin[3] discusses the many ways in which people with difficulty establishing spatial and temporal relationships can face problems in ordinary situations.
