This paper is concerned with the development of a naive geography analyst system, which can provide the analysts with image exploitation techniques based on naive geography and commonsense spatial reasoning. In the system approach, naive geography information is acquired and represented jointly with imagery to form cognitively oriented interactive 3-D visualization and analysis space, and formal representations are generated by inferring a set of distributed graphical depictions representing naive (commonsense) geographical space knowledge. The graphical representation of naive geography information is functional in the sense that analysts can interact with it in ways that are analogous to corresponding interactions with real-world entities and settings in the spatial environments.
