Knowledge Acquisition for Automatic Interpretation of Radar Images

  • Chapter
Image Analysis and Processing

Abstract

The present study concerns the automatic interpretation of horizontal digitized rain maps compiled from radar registrations.

The description and classification of rain patterns is pursued following a more general approach to the DI interpretation based on the definition of relevant image structures and their attributes meaningful for the experiment.

The development of the specific tool, starting with the initial knowledge base through several expoloration-confirmation cycles and aiming to the knowledge assessment, is described.

The performance of the prototype tool is then discussed.
