INTERIMAGE: UMA PLATAFORMA COGNITIVA OPEN SOURCE PARA A INTERPRETAÇÃO AUTOMÁTICA DE IMAGENS DIGITAIS Interimage: an open source cognitive platform for automatic interpretation of digital images

This paper introduces a new open source knowledge-based platform for automatic image interpretation, called InterIMAGE. The architecture, main features as well as an overview of the interpretation strategy implemented in InterIMAGE are presented. The paper also reports an experiment in which an application built and tested upon a commercial software (eCognition) is translated into InterIMAGE. No change was introduced in the original knowledge model itself. Only the knowledge formulation has been changed in order to comply with InterIMAGE's knowledge representation structures. The results showed practically identical classifications obtained with both platforms.
