Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for determining a relationship score between a first entity and a second entity. A first computer-readable representation of a first spatial region containing the first entity is generated. A second computer-readable representation of a second spatial region containing the second entity is generated. The first computer-readable representation and the second computer-readable representation are compared at decreasing resolutions until a matching condition is reached. A relationship score is assigned to one or more of the first entity and the second entity based on the resolution at which the matching condition is reached.
