Abstract :
An intelligent system for data fusion of remotely sensed imagery and geographic information, System of Experts for Intelligent Data Management (SEIDAM), incorporates a reasoning system or planner. The planner organizes automatically a collection of image processing, GIS, communications, and data base agents or expert systems. The agents are organized to accomplish a user-specified goal, such as perform a forest inventory update. A new planner, PALERMO/TO, has been developed which is 65% faster than an earlier version. SEIDAM software is available on the web; www.aft.pfc.forestry.ca
