A wide development in sensor systems has occurred during the last decades resulting in improved spatial temporal and spectral resolution. The collection of data by remote sensing is generally more efficient and cheaper than by direct observation and measurement on the ground although still of a varying quality. Data collected by sensors may be affected by atmospheric factors between sensors and the values reflected on the earth s surface local impurities on the earth s surface technical deficiencies of sensors and other factors. In addition only the reflection of the sensor s signal or of the sunlight on the earth s surface is being measured and no direct measurements are made. Consequently the quality of maps produced by remote sensing needs to be assessed 1 . Another major issue of interest concerns the ontological interpretation of remote-sensing imagery. The truth as it supposedly exists at the earth surface is due to what one wishes to see. This can be formalized in terms of formal ontologies although these may be subject to changes in time as well and also a subjective interpretation is often being given. 325 2008 by Taylor Francis Group LLC 326 Image Processing for Remote Sensing Image classification and segmentation are important concepts in this respect. A segmentation of an image yields segments of more or less .
