The problem

During the last decades, the satellite

image catalogues have stored huge quantity of data

State of the art catalogues permit only

to specify location, time of interest, metadata like platform, sensor, acquisition mode…

The interpretation task

The interpretation of EO images

requires

Fusion of data/information for better

understanding of structures

Aggregation with existing knowledge

specific to the application fields (at higher level)

From KIM to KES (Knowledge Enabled Services)

Image interpretation is not a simple task.

Each user needs a set of accessory data, as for example GIS layers or texts obtained through Internet.

Yet, the amount of available information

makes searches a demanding and expensive task.

An environment where images are at the

focal point, and where each user can navigate through a taxonomically structured knowledge, could be of extreme value.

Semantic Grouping

In KIM it is simple to define a feature

by identifying a river through positive and negative examples.

However, the “river" might become

part of a wider concept (e.g.: water). This should be implemented without retraining the system for all possible water types.

IGARSS 2004 - Image Information Mining

Aggregated Features

In

KES a new kind

  • f

grouping, called “aggregated features”, has been introduced.

In a similar way as in defining positive and

negative examples on the image, it will be possible to define the concept “water” as:

Positive examples:

sea + river + lake + water reservoir

Negative examples:

streets + houses + mountains

Ontology

Ontology is the specification of a

  • conceptualisation. It can be related to a

system (System Ontology, which can be domain independent and reused for different domains) or to a domain (Domain Ontology, specific for that domain).

slide-16
SLIDE 16

IGARSS 2004 - Image Information Mining

Domain Ontology

Domain ontology is the set of definitions and

concepts pertaining and belonging to a specific domain (and shared by concerned people).

Different domains have generally different

  • ntologies. As an example, a climatology

expert could have a different vision of (and terms to describe) water compared to that of an oceanography expert.

Implicit and explicit knowledge transfer

The KIM prototype permits to associate weighted

combinations of primitive features to image features. While defining features, the user explicitly transfers knowledge to the system, which is stored and made available to the same or other users.

In addition there is a further type of knowledge

(implicit) that could be discovered: if the user domain

  • f interest is known, by observing the user

interactions with the system during search and browsing, it is possible to infer the data of likely user interest and link it with the pertinence domain.
