A Multi-Level Semantic Scene Interpretation Strategy for Change Interpretation in Remote Sensing Imagery |
Abstract | ||
---|---|---|
Remotely sensed images represent an important source of information for monitoring land changes that may occur. There is, therefore, a need to analyze and interpret such information in order to extract useful semantic change interpretations. However, extracting such semantics from satellite images is a complex task that requires prior and contextual knowledge. In this paper, we focus on the issue of semantic scene interpretation for change interpretation. Consequently, a strategy for semantic remote-sensing imagery scene interpretation is proposed. This strategy is based on a representative framework that is structured around several levels of interpretation: the pixel level, the visual primitive level, the object level, the scene level, and the change interpretation level. Each level integrates a logical mechanism to extract useful knowledge for interpretation. The proposed model has been evaluated using two Landsat scene images acquired in 2000 [Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+)] and 2017 (Landsat 8) in order to check its relevance for semantic scene and change interpretation. Precision, recall, and F-measure metrics were used in order to show the capacity of the proposed methodology for semantic classification. A visual evaluation was also performed to evaluate the performance of the presented interpretation strategy, and the query results for each level show a promising capability for semantic object classification, spatial and temporal relations’ extraction, and change interpretation. |
