Buffering Fuzzy Maps in GIS
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we show how standard GIS operations like the complement, union, intersection, and buffering of maps can be made more flexible by using fuzzy set theory. In particular, we present a variety of algorithms for operations on fuzzy raster maps, focusing on buffer operations for such maps. Furthermore, we show how widely-available special-purpose hardware (in particular, z-buffering in graphics hardware) can be used for supporting buffer operations in fuzzy geographic information systems (GIS).

متن کاملErosion Modeling in a Raster-Based GIS with Fuzzy Logic
In recent years, fuzzy logic has been applied successfully to a wide range of problems. This paper shows how it can be utilized in the area of spatial reasoning, in particular geographic information systems. The problem that we address here is the prediction of erosion from factors such as slope, annual precipitation, etc. These factors are represented as maps in a GIS. The maps are converted i...
متن کاملKarstification Potential Mapping in Northeast of Khuzestan Province, Iran, using Fuzzy Logic and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) techniques
The primary objective of the current study is to produce karstification potentiality maps in northeast of Khuzestan province, Iran, using both fuzzy logic and AHP models as an additional tool in hydrogeological research. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) are used to create two maps depicting the development of the karstification, consisting of five classes, showing th...
متن کاملEvaluating the Potential Area for Constructing Photovoltaic Power Plant in Iran using Fuzzy Approach
Solar energy is an important source of renewable, sustainable, and accessible kind of energy in the world. Halting environmental degradation, this kind of energy is what can reduce the damaging consequences of fossil fuels. Iran or other counties located in the arid area can use this type of energy. In fact, the geographical position of Iran in word's dry belt makes this country a proper land ...
