Daniela Faur, Inge Gavat, Mihai Datcu

Abstract

Nowadays the Earth Observation sensors provide images containing detailed information relevant for applications related to hazard or security matters. Unfortunately, image information mining, its interpretation and transformation in products useful to the rescue or decision teams is still a laborious task, effectuated many times by visual inspection and manual annotations of the images, thus not appropriate to react in prerequisite time.
This paper presents a data analysis processing chain, which by interactive operations, enables analysis and interpretation of large volumes of images with high accuracy, flexibility and much faster than any existing methods.
