An Information Fusion Model between GeoSOT Grid and Global Hexagonal Equal Area Grid

Abstract

In order to cope with the rapid growth of spatiotemporal big data, data organization models based on discrete global grid systems have developed rapidly in recent years. Due to the differences in model construction methods, grid level subdivision and coding rules, it is difficult for discrete global grid systems to integrate, share and exchange data between different models. Aiming at the problem of information fusion between a GeoSOT grid and global hexagonal equal area grid system, this paper proposes the GeoSOT equivalent aggregation model (the GEA model). We establish a spatial correlation index method between GeoSOT grids and global hexagonal equal area grids, and based on the spatial correlation index, we propose an interoperable transformation method for grid attributes information. We select the POI (points of interest) data of Beijing bus and subway stations and carry out the transformation experiment of hexagonal grid to GeoSOT grid information so as to verify the effectiveness of the GEA model. The experimental results show that when the 17th-level GeoSOT grid is selected as the particle grid to fit the hexagonal grid, the accuracy and efficiency can be well balanced. The fitting accuracy is 95.51%, and the time consumption is 30.9 ms. We establish the associated index of the GeoSOT grid and the hexagonal grid and finally realized the exchange of information.
