Abstract:

The map overlay problem occurs when mismatched gridded data needs to be combined; the problem consists of determining which portion of grid cells in one grid relates to the partly overlapping cells of the target grid. This problem contains inherent uncertainty, but it is an important and necessary first step in analyzing and combining data; any improvement in achieving a more accurate relation between the grids will positively impact the subsequent analysis and conclusions. Here, a novel approach using techniques from fuzzy control and artificial intelligence is presented to provide a new methodology. The method uses a fuzzy inference system to decide how data represented in one grid can be distributed over another grid using any additionally available knowledge; thus mimicking the higher reasoning that we as humans would use to consider the problem.
