Because of the surprisingly increasing volume and semantically fuzzy nature of remote sensing images (RSIs), one of the main obstacles to realize efficient retrieval of the RSIs is the lack of effective sharing technologies and semantic description methods. In this paper, we present a fuzzy ontology and implement a prototype grid system named RSIsFGridfor semanticbased RSIs retrieval using fuzzy ontology and grid technologies. In order to verify this method, measures such as the recall and precision are used Test results have indicated that the fuzzy ontology-based method can promote the query performance ofRSIs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
