Abstract

This paper describes an object oriented methodology for the semantic extraction of a geo-image, which is defined by a set of natural language labels. The approach is composed of two main stages: analysis and synthesis. The analysis stage detects the main geographic components of a geo-image by means of the color quantification, geometry and topology of the geospatial objects. The result of this stage is a set of geo-images with intensities that are approximately uniform. The synthesis stage extracts the main geographic objects that have been identified and a labeling process is made in two levels (general and specialized). The aim of the labeling process is to associate a label of the thematic to each region, taking into account the RGB characteristics of the geo-image. In order to specialize each geographic object, we have proposed a specialization algorithm that considers geometric and topologic relations among them, represented in geographic application domain ontology. As a result, the set of labels describes the semantics of a geo-image.
