AN ONTOLOGY-BASED MODELING OF AN OCEAN SATELLITE IMAGE RETRIEVAL SYSTEM

The need to access information in large volumes of image data, e. g. big images, large images archives, distributed image repositories, etc, has stimulated the research in the field of Content-based Image Retrieval during last decade [DJLW08, LZLM07, Han08]. Many new concepts have been developed and prototyped. However, the dramatic increase in volume, details, diversity and complexity and the user demand for simultaneous access to multi-domain data urgently requires new approaches for image information mining, multi-domain information management, knowledge management and sharing.
