Abstract

This paper presents a discrete model for storing uncertain spatial data in a database. It expands on earlier works on modelling uncertain and vague regions as well as an abstract model of uncertain spatial data developed by the present authors. The model presented in this paper is based on a vector representation of the spatial data and covers uncertain points, uncertain lines and uncertain regions as well as uncertain versions of base types such as integers. Three alternative methods for computing the probabilities associated with uncertain spatial data are included. This paper also describes how to implement two operations with these types.
