Re: How to deal with fuzzines of location data
Hi,
we are wondering how to handle the fuzzynes of sample locations. In our old database we allow users to set a fuzzynes value when they enter data. In indicia we use a sample attribute for this value.
The problem is when querying data by a polygon: samples near the polygon with high fuzzynes are not selected, even they have a fuzzynes which makes it quite likely that they are in the polygon. We have tried succesfully to manipulate the database to save a "circle" as the geometry with the fuzzynes value as the radius.
This worked fine for the queries. Is there a better way to handle this? Because manually manipulating the database is not realy an option.
Regards
Daniel
