A PLATFORM FOR EVALUATING, MONITORING AND PREDICTING THE STATUS OF REGIONS OF THE PLANET THROUGH TIME

摘要

A Platform and Method for Evaluating, Exploring, and Predicting the Status of Regions of the Planet through Time is provided. The method is a computer-implemented means for evaluating an area. The method includes collecting relevant datasets, transforming datasets into dynamic datasets, selecting a region of interest, selecting factors of interest, producing an evaluation index for the region of interest, specifying targets and thresholds for the evaluation index, generating a visualization of the evaluation index for the region of interest; generating alerts when the evaluation index changes in specified ways, and reporting the status and trend of the region of interest using the evaluation index. The data transformation is optionally achieved with machine learning algorithms and training data to produce time series indices. The method may also produce predictive models and maps from the time series indices.
