Abstract
This paper describes a tree system approach which interpretates highways and rivers from LANDSAT pictures. The basic definitions of tree grammars and tree automaton and a grammatical inference procedure are first introduced. The interpretation process is conceived as a process of continuous verification of the hypothesized descriptions of objects in the picture. The LANDSAT imagery map of Lafayette, Indiana is used as a training data set and tree grammar is inferred from the interpretation process. The versatility of this set of syntactic rules is tested on a different data set and the initial results are reported.
