Abstract
Use of ArcObjects in the Derivation of Environment Sustainability Indicators
Track: Environment Management
Author(s): Andreas Skouloudis, Mike Mineter
Sustainability indicators aid in the monitoring of the environment. We discuss the methods used within our work for the processing of geographical data in order to derive indicators, emphasising the use of ArcObjects and ArcMap. The indicators are held in rasters representing Europe using cells of 0.3 degrees. The processing begins with the extraction of areas, lengths, and values expressing the contributions of polygon, line, and point data (respectively) from a variety of input datasets to each raster cell, achieved by an intersection operation. Further processing fuses these multiple intersected datasets to derive the indicators.
