Geological map polygon checker for polygons in depositional environment

摘要

A method for determining validity of an arrangement of a plurality of contiguous depositional environment polygons that depict a geological region includes obtaining a plurality of polygons stored in a dataset of polygons, each polygon of the plurality of polygons assigned a different depositional environment characteristic, and the plurality of polygons representing the geological region, arranging the plurality of polygons adjacent each other using geographical coordinates of the polygons, and thereby obtain an arrangement of the plurality of polygons, determining whether the arrangement of the plurality of polygons is valid using a rule-base that includes pairs of compatible depositional environment characteristics arranged adjacent each other, and generating a map of geological polygons for a region that facilitates exploration of a natural resource
