New approaches to processing GIS Data using Artificial Neural Networks models

Abstract

Spatial data mining is a special type of data mining. The main difference between data mining and spatial data mining is that in spatial data mining tasks we use not only non-spatial attributes but also spatial attributes. Spatial data mining techniques have strong relationship with GIS (Geographical Information System) and are widely used in GIS for inferring association among spatial attributes, clustering and classifying information with respect to spatial attributes. In this paper we use the statistical package Weka on two models, which consist of two parcels plans from the Olt area of Romania. In our experimentation, we compare the results of the vector models depending on the values of the training datasets. Using these models with GIS data from the domain of Cadaster we analyze the performance of the Artificial Neural Networks in context of spatial data mining.
