Computer System amp; Method for Simplifying a Geospatial Dataset Representing an Operating Environment for Assets

摘要

A computing system may be configured to simplify a complex dataset of nodes representing an operational environment. To that end, the computing system (a) associates nodes with a respective set of asset data related to how assets operate when located in proximity to the given node, where the respective asset data includes a respective value of at least one given asset-data variable, (b) evaluates whether any nodes can be eliminated using a divergence function that determines a maximum divergence between (i) one set of values including an original value of the given asset-data variable for each candidate node and (ii) another set of values including an imputed value of the given variable for each candidate node, (c) removes nodes from the dataset identified for elimination, thereby generating a reduced dataset, and (d) uses the reduced dataset to evaluate the operation of assets in the environment defined by the reduced dataset.
