The Canada Centre for Remote Sensing has developed two hierarchical expert systems, the Analyst Advisor and the Map Image Congruency Evaluation (MICE) advisor. These expert systems are built upon our Remote-Sensing Shell (RESHELL) written in Logicware's MPROLOG. A shell is a programming environment that specifically caters to expert system development. Knowledge is represented in the production rules and frames database. Numerical processing takes place using the extensive FORTRAN code of the Landsat Digital Image Analysis System (LDIAS). The LDIAS includes several DEC VAX computers, image displays, specialized processors, and DEC AI VAX stations. The paper describes the architecture of the expert system to compare maps and images (MICE) and the expert system to advise on the extraction of resource information from remotely sensed data, the Analyst Advisor.
