We present SexTant, a Web-based system for the visualization and exploration of time-evolving linked geospatial data and the creation, sharing, and collaborative editing of “temporally-enriched” thematic maps which are produced by combining different sources of such data.

In this paper, fuzzy-based multisensor data fusion is studied and an iterative fuzzy classifier is proposed. Obtained results are given as a set of two maps: a thematic map, and a confidence map (a classification certainty map representing the degree of certainty in the thematic map). The application of this classifier using ERS-1/JERS-1 SAR composites is shown to very promising.
