The paper mainly studied decomposition method of raster geographic data based on parallel computing. Firstly, we structured computational transformation model of raster geographic data; Then, we designed a computational experiment to validate the computational transformation model and evaluate the performance of k-NN classification algorithm. Results of parallel computational experiment show that the model can be applied to decompose a heterogeneous spatial computational domain representation into a balanced set of computing tasks; the speedup performance of parallelizing k-NN classification algorithm based on the transformation model is superior to the results from traditional method.
