image interpretation

Image interpretation is the process of analyzing visual data—such as photographs, satellite images, or medical scans—to identify and understand what is depicted. It involves recognizing features like shapes, colors, textures, and patterns to determine the objects, landforms, or phenomena present. Experts use their knowledge and experience to interpret these images accurately, often for purposes like mapping terrain, diagnosing health conditions, or monitoring environmental changes. The goal is to extract meaningful information from visual data to support decision-making, planning, or research.
