5.3 Link to Artificial Intelegence to perform a better 
shape recognition. 
Drawing (sketching) topology of image content proposed in this 
paper is considered be done manually. Combining this temporal 
data management with Artificial Intelligence technology allows 
automation of some task like shape recognition, building vector 
for topology, image matching and content matching. 
6. CONCLUSION 
Managing satellite imagery data in computer storage requires a 
specific database management technology. Each image raster 
file has it own size, time, spatial information and other 
properties. Object Oriented Database is the best approach to 
handle image file management. 
Based on a limitation of current metadata structure 
that is designed for human interpretation, this spatial - temporal 
data management allows an image retrieval or query based on 
the image content. Spatial - temporal information is generated 
from an image data using a vector representation and 2D-PIR 
transformation.
