Figure 7. The topological graph extraction from space decomposition and extension into different levels using the topological abstraction.
Figure 8. Illustration of the topological abstraction process with a strict convex property (): (a) the GIS data of a complex building, (b) the exact space decomposition using CDT techniques (63 triangular cells), and (c) the topological abstraction (28 convex polygons).
Figure 9. Illustration of the action, agent, and location concepts using a concept type lattice.
Figure 10. An example of a conceptual description of agents archetypes (a), actions performed (b), and locations situated in a geographic environment (c).
Figure 11. The IVGE representing a part of Quebec city where the spatial behaviour simulation takes place with five geo-referenced locations.
