Abstract

Processing of spatial data can benefit from the use of fuzzy inference systems, and such systems have been proposed to deal with the map overlay problem for gridded data. The development of fuzzy inference system for solving spatial problems poses specific challenges due to the type of data and specific properties of the spatial context. In this contribution, we take into account that a spatial dataset can exhibit a big variety in different areas and determine the most possible ranges for the variables in the rulebase system in a more appropriate and dynamic way. In addition, we show how the construction and application of a rulebase can be modified in order to handle this changed definition of the most possible ranges.
