Abstract

A new system (C.T.R.F.'s LSGENSYS--Linguistic Summary Generation System) that has been developed for pattern recognition and summarization of patterns in multiband (RGB) satellite images is described in this paper. The system design is described in some detail. The system has been tested successfully with SPOT MS and LANDSAT images. It extracts, analyzes, and summarizes patterns such as land, island, water body, river, fire, and urban settlements from these images. The results are presented by allowing the system to automatically classify and interpret these images. Some elements of supervised classification are also introduced, and a comparison is made between the results in each case.
