A RS/GIS-Based System for Monitoring Malaria Epidemic

Article Preview

Abstract:

This system essentially implements the information from RS and GIS associated with malaria epidemic modeling, and increases precision of malaria epidemic modeling by the information representing physical and logical fusion objects subject to malaria epidemic monitoring. This work focuses on the system architecture model and related design issues, including area and type estimation of malaria epidemic, whereas we use the model as a tool of data fusion to avoid the parameter estimation problems in complex environments.
