Abstract:

Raster representations of thematic and numerical spatial attributes are very common in a GIS environment for computational simulation and analysis of spatial processes. This paper addresses the problem of predictions with uncertainty assessment for GIS raster representations created from a set of sample points of spatial attributes. The realizations of a stochastic simulation process, over numerical attribute samples, are used for inferencing the attribute values and the related uncertainties at non-sampled spatial locations. A case study, using elevation sample data, is presented in order to illustrate the used methodology with real data.
