Categorizing data imperfections for object matching in wastewater networks using belief theory
Résumé
Nowadays, data on wastewater networks covering the same geographical territory are
available from different sources. The fusion of multi-source spatial data provides a new and
richer dataset that can serve several purposes such as quality improvement, decision making,
or delivery of new services. It has given rise to several research works focused on the
visualization, analysis, and fusion of spatial databases. However, the original data is often
imperfect: imprecise, uncertain, vague, incomplete, etc. Therefore, it is essential to use
formalisms allowing the modeling of imperfections and to propose adapted fusion
mechanisms.
In this work, we aim to handle data imperfections in a generic way. We first propose a
categorization, according to several dimensions, of data imperfections encountered when
fusing multi-source spatial data. We then propose to model these imperfections according to
the formalism of the belief theory. We consider our conducted experiments that allowed us to match nodes and edges in the different cases of data imperfection, as promising.
