ABSTRACT:
The present invention features a method of identifying and/or extracting an object from multiple fused information sources, such as maps and images. The system allows a user to integrate information freely from multiple sources, such as maps, socio-economic data and various types of images. Data is first retrieved and then processed to transform its pixel representation to a region representation. The region representation is then refined by merging mechanisms, such as segmentation. The identified and/or extracted object can then be visualized by the user. Features or objects can then be extracted using the user's expert rules and confidence levels, which confidence levels may be derived by fuzzy logic.
