RESEDA - A KNOWLEDGE-BASED ADVISORY SYSTEM FOR REMOTE-SENSING

This article describes the design and implementation of RESEDA (Remote Sensor Data Analysis), a knowledge-based system for the extraction of environmental information from digital raster images of the earth. Th e images may have been obtained from airborne or spaceborne sensors. A ncillary data is used to improve the results of the image analysis; in particular, we are using digital map data stored in a geographic info rmation system for this purpose. The main goal of the system is to pro vide easy access to remote sensing technology for non-expert users, su ch as decision makers in environmental management.
