Popis: AbstractDitches are vital to water system data. To ease the task of matching multi-scale ditch data and enhance accuracy (Acc), it is essential to discern ditch data matching patterns. Despite its importance, limited research has been conducted on ditch matching patterns, and the primary reasons for variations in multi-scale geographical entities’ matching patterns remain underexplored. Here, we introduce a supervised graph neural network (GNN) method, targeting the direct analysis of 1:10,000 ditch characteristics to identify the matching patterns between 1:10,000 and 1:25,000 datasets. The ditch network is depicted as a graph structure, with nodes representing ditch segments and edges indicating their connections. Subsequently, each ditch segment’s geometric, semantic, and topological attributes are computed as node attributes, and their matching patterns with the 1:25,000 dataset are labeled as node annotations. Ditch segment matching patterns are then categorized using supervised learning. Experiments using Overijssel, Netherlands’ ditch data reveal that this method achieves a 97.3% classification Acc, outperforming other GNN methods by 25.6–26.3% and traditional machine learning methods by 33%. These findings underscore the efficacy and superiority of the proposed supervised GNN approach in pinpointing ditch matching patterns.
