Abstract
This paper is concerned with the development of a naïve geography analyst system, which can provide the analysts with image exploitation techniques based on naïve geography and commonsense spatial reasoning. In the system approach, naïve geography information is acquired and represented jointly with imagery to form cognitively oriented interactive 3-D visualization and analysis space, and formal representations are generated by inferring a set of distributed graphical depictions representing naïve (commonsense) geographical space knowledge. The graphical representation of naïve geography information is functional in the sense that analysts can interact with it in ways that are analogous to corresponding interactions with real-world entities and settings in the spatial environments.
