Towards automatic detection of erroneous measurement results in a gravity database
Qian Wen, Ann Quiroz Gates, J. Beck, Владик Крейнович, G. Randy Keller · 2002
Geospatial databases often contain erroneous measurements. For some such databases such as gravity databases, the known methods of detecting erroneous measurements-based on regression analysis-do not work well. As a result, to clean such databases, experts use manual methods which are very time-consuming. In this paper, we propose a (natural) "localized" version of regression analysis as a technique for automatic cleaning. We illustrate the efficiency of this technique on the example of the gravity database.
