Abstract

This paper presents some new developments in image mining. Image mining considers the chain from object identification from remote sensing images through modeling, tracking on a series of images and prediction, towards communication to stakeholders. Attention is given to image mining for vague and uncertain objects. Aspects of up-and down-scaling are addressed. We further consider in this paper both spatial interpolation and decision making. The paper is illustrated with several case studies.
