Ontology based description of satellite imageries for application ...

These rules are easy to extend whenever either new applications or new available sensors aredeveloped. While this approach applied, users do not need to search a certain sensor but they only dowith their application and the reasoner will provide a list of datasets from different sensor that aresuitable for their tasks.5. Conclusion and future worksThis approach applies an ontology in order to describe satellite sensor properties and userrequirements in a machine readable way. The ontology includes the rules that define the relationshipsbetween sensor properties and user requirements. This approach facilitates users search for satelliteimages and is easy to extend when new sensors are made or new user requirements using satelliteimage to observe real world objects. Extending of terms for application domain will be done to applyfor different disciplines and at present, image processing methods are not included in this approach.ReferenceBarb, A. S., et al.
