Background: Owing to increased growth in satellite imagery, the development of an architecture that rapidly and efficiently identifies similar images has become crucial. Hadoop has become a de-facto platform for storing large amounts of data. Apache Spark and MapReduce have also become key frameworks for distributed processing of big data. Objective: This paper proposes a novel distributed content-based image retrieval (DCBIR) architecture that leverages the qualities of these engines, which were not utilized in previous studies. Methods: Features of 40 satellite images with sizes greater than 500 MB were indexed, on a 15-node Hadoop cluster with two different databases viz. Neo4J, a graph database, and HBase, a columnar database. Results: Performance and Scalability of both indexing and query phases, along with precision and recall were observed for both databases. Conclusion: Experimental results show that the proposed system can efficiently perform image retrieval on large remote sensing images.

These are the days where we are very rich in information and poor in data. This is very true in case of image data. Whether it is the case of normal images or satellite images, the image collection is very huge but utilizing those images is of least concern. Extracting features from big images is a very challenging and compute intensive task but if we realize it, it will be very fruitful. CBIR (Content Based Image Retrieval) when used with HRRS (High Resolution Remote Sensing) images will yield with effective data.

In recent years, the amount of remote sensing imagery data has increased exponentially. The ability to quickly and effectively find the required images from massive remote sensing archives is the key to the organization, management, and sharing of remote sensing image information. This paper proposes a high-resolution remote sensing image retrieval method with Gabor-CA-ResNet and a split-based deep feature transform network. The main contributions include two points. (1) For the complex texture, diverse scales, and special viewing angles of remote sensing images, A Gabor-CA-ResNet network taking ResNet as the backbone network is proposed by using Gabor to represent the spatial-frequency structure of images, channel attention (CA) mechanism to obtain stronger representative and discriminative deep features. (2) A split-based deep feature transform network is designed to divide the features extracted by the Gabor-CA-ResNet network into several segments and transform them separately for reducing the dimensionality and the storage space of deep features significantly. The experimental results on UCM, WHU-RS, RSSCN7, and AID datasets show that, compared with the state-of-the-art methods, our method can obtain competitive performance, especially for remote sensing images with rare targets and complex textures.

Benchmark datasets are essential for developing and evaluating remote sensing image retrieval (RSIR) approaches. However, most of the existing datasets are single-labeled, with each image in these datasets being annotated by a single label representing the most significant semantic content of the image. This is sufficient for simple problems, such as distinguishing between a building and a beach, but multiple labels and sometimes even dense (pixel) labels are required for more complex problems, such as RSIR and semantic segmentation.We therefore extended the existing multi-labeled dataset collected for multi-label RSIR and presented a dense labeling remote sensing dataset termed "DLRSD". DLRSD contained a total of 17 classes, and the pixels of each image were assigned with 17 pre-defined labels. We used DLRSD to evaluate the performance of RSIR methods ranging from traditional handcrafted feature-based methods to deep learning-based ones. More specifically, we evaluated the performances of RSIR methods from both single-label and multi-label perspectives. These results demonstrated the advantages of multiple labels over single labels for interpreting complex remote sensing images. DLRSD provided the literature a benchmark for RSIR and other pixel-based problems such as semantic segmentation.

Abstract. We propose an innovative methodology to estimate the formative discharge of alluvial rivers from remote sensing images. This procedure involves automatic extraction of the width of a channel from Landsat Thematic Mapper, Landsat 8, and Sentinel-1 satellite images. We translate the channel width extracted from satellite images to discharge using a width–discharge regime curve established previously by us for the Himalayan rivers. This regime curve is based on the threshold theory, a simple physical force balance that explains the first-order geometry of alluvial channels. Using this procedure, we estimate the formative discharge of six major rivers of the Himalayan foreland: the Brahmaputra, Chenab, Ganga, Indus, Kosi, and Teesta rivers. Except highly regulated rivers (Indus and Chenab), our estimates of the discharge from satellite images can be compared with the mean annual discharge obtained from historical records of gauging stations. We have shown that this procedure applies both to braided and single-thread rivers over a large territory. Furthermore, our methodology to estimate discharge from remote sensing images does not rely on continuous ground calibration.

Similar Images

An efficient non-uniform color quantization and similarity measurement methods are proposed to enhance the content-based image retrieval (CBIR) applications. The HSV color space is selected because it is close to human visual perception system, and a non-uniform color method is proposed to quantize an image into 37 colors. The marker histogram (MH) vector of size 296 values is generated by segmenting the quantized image into 8 regions (multiplication of 45°) and count the occurrences of the quantized colors in their particular angles. To cope with rotated images, an incremental displacement to the MH is applied 7 times. To find similar images, we proposed a new similarity measurement and other 4 existing metrics. A uniform color quantization of related work is implemented too and compared to our quantization method. One-hundred test images are selected from the Corel-1000 images database. Our experimental results conclude high retrieving precision ratios compared to other techniques.
