The p e ious sec ions con ain a pa icula ins ance

In he De ice Le el we ep esen he objec s in a

has a e y small deg ee o abs ac ion and we only ep-
esen he physical aspec s o he objec s.
A
second le el o abs ac ion is ob ained in he Log-

so,
we can s udy some p ope ies o opo-

be he suppo o w i ing he algo i hms and o p o e

In gene al, he le el abo e is a om he ma hema -

in
which we ha e
a

So
we need he Concep ual Le el
as
an in e ace be-

ealize his in e ace i is necessa y o ansla e: (1) Ob-

cep ual Le el and ice e sa;
(2)
Objec s and p ope ies
om he Concep ual Le el o he Con inuous Le el;
(3)
P ope ies o objec s in he Con inuous Le el o p op-

Finally, he Con inuous Le el is used o ind
a

and

so
we can use he mo e powe ul

in
his le el by using he well-known esul s o
Polyhed al Topology and we aiisla e
i a
o he Logical

When we ha e
a

a

mis ,
choose speci ic models

F om a heo e ical poin o iew, he pa icula

In addi ion, his amewo k can be used o sol e

is

a

V. FINAL REMARKS
In his pape , we ha e de eloped a gene al ame-
wo k ha allows o use e y powe ul ools and e-
sul s ( hose o Polyhed al Topology) in Digi al Topol-

he Sc een Model. Fo example, i ou Sc een Model
is ep esen ed by he Fig 9(a), he g aph used
as
Logi-
cal Model is he one in he Fig 9(b) (called hexagonal
g aph).
In
his case, each pai o cells has he same con-
nec i i y deg ee and he g aph is plana ,
so
we choose
lie same g aph o ep esen he Concep ual Le el.
Ob-
se e ha , in his case, his model e i ies he Jo dan
Cu e Theo em. The p oo is he same
as
in he case
o he g aph o he &adjacencies.
The e a e models which do no e i y he Jo dan
Cu e Theo em. An example o his
is
he g aph
E4,
ep esen ed by lie Fig 10(b), which is he logical model
o
lie sc een model ep esen ed by he Fig 10(a). This
g aph
is
plana ,
so
we mus conside he same g aph
