✦ Synopsis

This report is a discussion of how people encode the spatial relations between objects in a pictm'e. We emphasize those relations with English names, and describe some mathematical and computational formalisms which can be used to embody the semantic content of these terms. Recent psychological investigations into human picture encoding are reviewed, with special attention to those findings and theories which might be pertinent to spatial relation encoding.
