Progressive content-based retrieval from satellite image archives
Abstract
In this paper, we have presented a scalable architecture to perform progressive content-based search from large satellite image archives. Objects at both the semantic and the feature levels are extracted to facilitate efficient and flexible retrieval. In addition, a hierarchical representation is constructed for each image. Consequently, content-based search operations can be applied hierarchically, resulting in a significant speedup.
