The model is based on several levels of information. Each level is called view and relates to a class of information. We distinguish three types of views : the concept, relation and interpretation views. The view concept or relation makes it possible to define respectively the concepts or the calculable relations automatically that do not require any particular interpretation. The view interpretation relates to the interpretation of the contents of the image. The number, the nature and the contents of each view are adaptable and can vary according to the type of application. The operational model is based on the nested conceptual graphs which we extended. The model is implemented and operational and the results obtained are very encouraging.}, issn = {0003-4347}, author = {Thami, ROH and Chaarani, H and Daoudi, M and Rachik, M} }
