✦ Synopsis


We show how a series of satellite images can be used in conjunction with data derived from a digital terrain model to monitor salinity in farmland. A conditional probability network (CPN) is constructed to produce salinity maps by combining uncertain information in images with uncertain knowledge or rules, where the rules are of a temporal and spatial nature. A specific model for extending conditional probability networks to handle the case of spatial context is given. To implement this model requires minor modifications to existing code for handling nonspatial CPN's. 1998 Academic Press
