Research for Information Extraction from Aerial Imagery,
Abstract
The U.S. Army Engineer Topographic Laboratories is investigating a number of approaches to information extraction from aerial imagery. Two approaches will be discussed in this paper: Automated feature extraction research and computer-assisted photo interpretation research. The discussion of automated information extraction indicates present day capabilities of automated systems, problems facing automated information extraction, and directions which basic research must take to achieve automated 'smart analysis systems' in the distant future. The discussion of computer-assisted photo interpretation will describe the research system now being developed and experiments for research which is expected to have value in the near future for increasing the quality and efficiency of the total information extraction processes.
