MI-SDM v2.51

MI-SDM (MapInfo Spatial Data Modeller) is an extension to MapInfo Professional which provides advanced spatial modelling with the goal of predicting the probability of occurrence of point objects. MI-SDM has been designed to integrate any number of large and diverse map layers in both raster and vector format.  Weights of Evidence, Fuzzy Logic and Neural Networks techniques are then used to model the spatial patterns in the combined data.

MI-SDM uses innovative data processing methods to work with input layers in polygon, classified grid or a variety of continuous grid formats.  MI-SDM is made up of a number of discrete modules for the preparation and analysis of data and the subsequent visualization of results.

MI-SDM Project

  • Use an unlimited number of polygon or grid layers as input to the Spatial Data Modeller
  • Use any polygon or polygons as the analysis study area
  • Project explorer keeps track of input data layers and output results tables
  • Processing log keeps track of what processing has been done, and where the results were stored

Weights of Evidence

  • Calculate weights of evidence for polygon or grid layers
  • Calculate weights of evidence for unique conditions grid
  • Check any number of input layers for conditional independence
  • Generate unique conditions Prospectivity Map for any number of input layers and classes
  • Calculate logistic regression statistics for unique conditions grid

Fuzzy Logic

  • Add fuzzy membership values to polygon or classified grid layers with manual input or with fuzzification function
  • Create output grid from single or multi-stage fuzzy logic model, using any of the fuzzy arithmetic operators on any combination of polygon or grid layers

Neural Networks

  • Analysis using supervized (RBFLN, PNN) and unsupervized (Fuzzy Clustering) processing methods
  • Neural network processing is fully integrated into MI-SDM and available as stand-alone exe
  • Neural network analysis for a unique conditions grid creates a prospectivity map
  • Neural network analysis can also be performed for point layers 

Grid Analysis
