Abstract

INGENS is a prototypical GIS which integrates machine learning tools in order to discover geographic knowledge useful for the task of topographic map interpretation. It embeds ATRE, a novel learning system that can induce recursive logic theories from a set of training examples. An application to the problem of recognizing four morphological elements in topographic maps of the Apulia region is also illustrated.
