Abstract: Integrated Systems Analysis Basing On Cartographic Information Banks in Geology

KOUZNETSOV OLEG L., EUGENIA N. CHEREMISINA

The computerization of man's activity and geological exploration in particular is one of the most important lines in the science- engineering development featuring the last two decades of the XX century.

At present, methods for the integrated system analysis have been created which allow to solve the problems of revealing and location of promising objects, to carry out quantitative interpretation of different-level information, and to build multifactor physico-geological models for objects under study.

The integrated systems analysis starts with building a model for the geological problem statement and solution process. Such model assumes formulation of a geological model, its presentation as a series of formal problems, integrated analysis of heterogeneous information allowing one to solve this series of formal problems, and interpretation of results obtained. Here, a special attention should be given to an object used for referencing information involved in each of these problems, and when handling the cartographic information to determining factors taken from the cartographic base and selecting corresponding computed digital characteristics. To provide the integration of multilevel data the INTEGRO GIS system was developed.

The INTEGRO system provides the following operations:
- Input and visualization of source information presented in
the form of space images, maps, diagrams, and tables;
- Analysis and synthesis of cartographic information;
- Refinement of models for geological models;
- Selection of optimum methods for solving prediction-
diag nostic problems;
- Complex processing of different-level information.

These man-computer technologies allow for the most efficient combination of the capacities of computers and analytical, creative and intellectual capabilities of experts. The man-computer technologies permit one to solve many problems, control and adjust the solution process, and intermediate and final results.
