Integrating BN models with GIS
Posted: Sep 18, 2015 4:14am
Is anyone using GeoNetica, or an API connection to GIS, or some other means?
In past projects, colleagues and I have linked Bayesian network models to ArcMap, ArcGIS maps by using polygon conditions as input files to the BN models as case files, then generating and saving the BN model output which includes the individual map polygon code, then reading those results back into GIS and color-ramping the calculated posterior probability values on a results map. Although functional, it meant that the evaluations were usually spatially insensitive to surrounding conditions in each map polygon.
