Abstract 1<br />

Today the continuous increase in archives' size and EO (Earth Observation)<br />

sensors' variety requires new methodologies and tools for information mining and<br />

management. With this growth, new approaches for image information mining,<br />

multi-domain information management, and knowledge management and sharing<br />

(in support of information mining) are necessary. An automatic chain reduces the<br />

human assistance in the data analysis, allows to gain time on the entire image<br />

processing and can be designed to retrieve information in Near Real Time (NRT).<br />

Such concepts find an important field of application in the monitoring of urban<br />

environments, where the knowledge of changes in either natural resources or man-<br />

made structures is a valuable source of information for decision-making processes.<br />

These images opened new scenario in classification, considering the information<br />

deriving from the study of the context and pattern recognition in addition to the<br />

spectral characteristics. This information can be the used in visual interpretation,<br />

such as texture and shape, transposed to digital analysis. Besides, the availability of<br />

hyperspectral data with a spatial resolution around few meters joins the potentiality
