Automatic fusion of geoinformation: The intelligent geo-mediator architecture (iGMA) [ 2006-10-01 - 2009-12-31 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Matt Duckham (Chief Investigator)

Brief description Automatic fusion of geoinformation: The intelligent geo-mediator architecture (iGMA). The efficient integration of geographic information from different sources (termed geoinformation fusion) is recognized internationally as a major problem for projects that rely on geographic information. Conventional geoinformation fusion procedures require manual assistance from human experts. This project will lead to increased speed, reliability, and economy for this task, by automating the process of geoinformation fusion. Many different application domains will benefit from these improvements to geoinformation fusion procedures, including emergency response systems (for example, helping to combine different data about the structural characteristics of buildings as part of a housing damage assessment following an earthquake).
