Abstract

The multiplication of Very High Resolution (spatial or spectral) remote sensing images appears to be an opportu- nity to identify objects in urban and periurban areas. The classification methods applied in the object-oriented image analysis approach could be based on the use of domain knowledge. A major issue in these approaches is domain knowledge formalization and exploitation. In this paper, we propose a recognition method based on an ontology which has been developed by experts of the domain. In order to give objects a semantic meaning, we have developed a matching process between an object and the concepts of the ontology. Experiments are made on a Quickbird image. The quality of the results shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.
