Data integration through region-based nominal filtering

January 1, 1992

Resource models integrating disparate nominal or class grid-cell data can be implemented by using spatial filters. Most modelling procedures do not adequately handle noise created during the process of merging and integrating multiple grid-cell data sets. Data integration can be best accomplished in an environment where ready access to statistical and database management systems support the reclassification of noise grid-cells. These systems provide access to functionality and information which support the design of the spatial filter and the evaluation of the result of the spatial filter and the resource model.
