Original models for direction relations ignored the restriction of topology and distance relations to direction representation. To improve the representation of direction relations model by pondering about the influence of topology and distance relations on direction relations, we categorize direction reference frame into topological reference and coarse directions reference and present a new direction relations quantitative and statistics models based on the new direction reference frames. Instead of degree, this new model uses a coordinate-based quantitative method to describe direction relations for the distance restrain, while it reflects the constraints of topology by the direction reference frame and by the coordinate representation. It covers all intricacies imposed by different types of objects and has more sensitivity to the configuration of objects. Experiments have been carried out and the results indicate the excellent efficiency in view of directional description.
