Geometric Quality in Geographic Information

چکیده
A typical way to build surface numerical models or Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) for Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is by processing the stereo images obtained from, for example, aerial photography or SPOT satellite data. These GIS can perform many computations involving their geographic databases. The quality control of a geographic database, and in particular the topological and geometric integrity, are, therefore, important topics (Guptill & Morrison, 1995; Harvey, 1997; Laurini & MilleretRaffort, 1993; Ubeda & Servigne, 1996). The geometric quality control of the stored DEM is what we are concerned with here. “Quality” means the geometric precision measured in terms of the difference between a DEM and a reference DEM (R-DEM). We assume the R-DEM is a faithful model of the actual surface. Its point density may be greater than the DEM point density.

Integration of artificial neural network and geographic information system applications in simulating groundwater quality
Background: Although experiments on water quality are time consuming and expensive, models are often employed as supplement to simulate water quality. Artificial neural network (ANN) is an efficient tool in hydrologic studies, yet it cannot predetermine its results in the forms of maps and geo-referenced data. Methods: In this study, ANN was applied to simulate groundwater quality ...
