Abstract

From the Publisher:Acquiring spatial data for Geoinformationsystems still is mainly done by human operators who analyse images using classical photogrammetric equipment or digitise maps, possibly assisted by some low level image processing. Automation of these tasks is difficult due to the complexity of the object, the topography, and the deficiency of current pattern recognition and image analysis tools for achieving a reliable transition from the data to the high level description of topographic objects. It appears that progress in automation only can be achieved by incorporating domain specific semantic models into the analysis procedures. This volume collects papers which were presented at the Workshop "SMATI 97". The workshop focused on the "Semantic Modeling for the Acquisition of Topographic Information from Images and Maps".
