Progressive attribute editing for geological interpretation of remote sensing images

Abstract

Step-by-step and from-easy-to-difficult are the outstanding characteristics of geological interpretationof remote sensing images. The interpretation results, especially the attributes of interpreted features, can be changed or adjusted on each step according to the reference materials and the field work feedback. As aconsequence, geological interpreters may make a lot of attribute adjustments and transformations among the geological categories during their interpretation process. Considering this typicalcharacteristicof geological interpretationof remote sensing images, in this article we introduce the design and implementation ofa progressive attribute editing module, which can improve interaction experience and make the interpretationprocesses more efficient.
