Image Processing in Cooperation with GIS

Our world and its phenomena are highly dynamic in space and time. Keeping temporal and spatial information precise and up-to-date is of much importance to the planning and designing of our activities in the landscape. In this paper, the method and the potential of integration of image data and GIS information layers is addressed to refine and update information for the use of temporal GIS. The modelling and monitoring of our environment and society is mainly based on the fact that our surrounding is continually changing. Temporal data processing is in our fast changing world crucial for the directing of disaster prevention, demographic development observation, management of military operations, large fires, and traffic problems and so on. This paper contemplates the contribution of object – pixel context to improve and refine temporal data and support automatic way of processing because manually update of geographical data is unpractical and highly time consuming.
