The semantic interpretation of images can benefit from representations
of useful concepts and the links between them as ontologies. In this
paper, we propose an ontology of spatial relations, in order to guide
image interpretation and the recognition of the structures it contains
using structural information on the spatial arrangement of these
structures. As an original theoretical contribution, this ontology
is then enriched by fuzzy representations of concepts, which define
their semantics, and allow establishing the link between these concepts
(which are often expressed in linguistic terms) and the information
that can be extracted from images. This contributes to reducing the
semantic gap and it constitutes a new methodological approach to
guide semantic image interpretation. This methodological approach
is illustrated on a medical example, dealing with knowledge-based
recognition of brain structures in 3D magnetic resonance images using
the proposed fuzzy spatial relation ontology.
