Title
The Meaning of ``Neighbour''
Abstract
Traditional vector and raster spatial models as used in many computer systems are examined to determine what is meant by the term "neighbour". The limitations are examined and the Voronoi spatial model is proposed as a consistent alternative to both. It is then asked whether this new computer model of space bears any resemblance to human spatial reasoning and perception processes. Examination of the work of Blum, Ahuja, Tuceryan, Serra and others suggests that the Voronoi model may indeed relate to visual perception and the concept of "neighbour".
