We introduce s-kNN, a nearest neighbor based spatial data mining algorithm. It belongs to the class of vector-geometry based algorithms that reason on complex spatial objects instead of point measurements. In contrast to most methods in this class, it does on the fly spatial computations that cannot be replaced by a pre-processing step without sacrificing efficiency. The key is a partial evaluation...
INGENS is a prototype of GIS which integrates a geographic knowledge discovery engine to mine several kinds of spatial KDD objects from the topographic maps stored in a spatial database. In this paper we describe the main principles of an inductive spatial database in INGENS. Inductive database allows to keep permanent KDD objects and integrate database technology with systems for the geographic knowledge...
Map generalization is used to derive maps for secondary scales and/or specific goals. This operation greatly benefits spatial decision support systems as it can provide a global and simplified representation of a phenomenon discarding irrelevant information. The recent popularity of OLAP systems for various application domains has generated much interest for the development of spatial OLAP (SOLAP)...
Although a huge amount of remote sensing data has been provided by Earth observation satellites, few data manipulation techniques and information extraction in large data sets have been developed. In this context, the present paper aims to show a new system for spatial data mining, and two test cases applied to land use change in the Brazilian Amazon region. We present the operational environment...
Unlike the traditional incremental updating problem for discrete data, the appended data to spatial dataset may introduce lots of new relations between the added events and the existing events. Moreover, as the measure in mining of colocation patterns, participation index is complicated to handle compared with simply support counter. Thus, the incremental maintenance of colocation patterns for dynamic...
