Spatial data mining and knowledge discovery (SDMKD) and remote sensing knowledge representation (KR) are important for the realization of intelligent and automatic image processing, so the mechanisms of knowledge acquisition, utilization, representation and storage are worthy of being researched. In this paper, an object-oriented image analysis (OOIA) is discussed and its knowledge will be summarized. Based on the object-oriented image analysis, a method of object-oriented knowledge representation and storage in XML will be proposed and the way to acquire and utilize knowledge in image analysis will also be described in a typical practice. Based on principle proposed, the authors implemented a prototype system and obtained expected results in extensive experiments.
