Satellite technology produces data at an enormous rate. Most of the database research on the analysis of remotely sensed images concentrated on data retrieval and simple queries that involved spatial joins and spatial selections. For example, the Sequoia 2000 project [13] aimed at the retrieval of raster data, while the Sloan Digital Sky Survey [14] poses the need for the creation of multiterab...

NASA’s Mobile Agents project leads coordinated planetary exploration simulations at the Mars Desert Research Station. Through ScienceOrganizer, a Web-based tool for organizing and providing contextual knowledge for scientific datasets, remote teams of scientists access and annotate datasets, images, documents, and other forms of scientific information, applying pre-defined semantic links or met...

We describe usage of DEM data in the VisiMine system for data mining and statistical analysis of the collections of remotely sensed images.
