Abstract
A method for fuzzy retrievals of Earth observation satellite image database using geophysical parameters and spatial featuresis proposed. It is confirmed that the proposed method allows fuzzy expressions of queries with sea surface temperature, chlorophil-a concentration and cloud coverage as well as circle, line and edge, for instance “rather cold sea surface temperature AND a sort of circle feature”. Thus users, in particular, oceanographers may access the most appropriate image data from the databse for finding of cold cores (circle feaures), fronts (arc and line features), etc. in a simple manner.
