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.

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.

Semantic segmentation is a significant method in remote sensing image (RSIs) processing and has been widely used in various applications. Conventional convolutional neural network (CNN)-based semantic segmentation methods are likely to lose the spatial information in the feature extraction stage and usually pay little attention to global context information. Moreover, the imbalance of category scale and uncertain boundary information meanwhile exists in RSIs, which also brings a challenging problem to the semantic segmentation task. To overcome these problems, a high-resolution context extraction network (HRCNet) based on a high-resolution network (HRNet) is proposed in this paper. In this approach, the HRNet structure is adopted to keep the spatial information. Moreover, the light-weight dual attention (LDA) module is designed to obtain global context information in the feature extraction stage and the feature enhancement feature pyramid (FEFP) structure is promoted and employed to fuse the contextual information of different scales. In addition, to achieve the boundary information, we design the boundary aware (BA) module combined with the boundary aware loss (BAloss) function. The experimental results evaluated on Potsdam and Vaihingen datasets show that the proposed approach can significantly improve the boundary and segmentation performance up to 92.0% and 92.3% on overall accuracy scores, respectively. As a consequence, it is envisaged that the proposed HRCNet model will be an advantage in remote sensing images segmentation.

With the resolution of remote sensing images is getting higher and higher, high-resolution remote sensing images are widely used in many areas. Among them, image information extraction is one of the basic applications of remote sensing images. In the face of massive high-resolution remote sensing image data, the traditional method of target recognition is difficult to cope with. Therefore, this paper proposes a remote sensing image extraction based on U-net network. Firstly, the U-net semantic segmentation network is used to train the training set, and the validation set is used to verify the training set at the same time, and finally the test set is used for testing. The experimental results show that U-net can be applied to the extraction of buildings.

Content-based image retrieval is a promising technique to access visual data. With the huge development of computer storage, networking, and the transmission technology now it becomes possible to retrieve the image data beside the text. In the traditional way, we find the content of image by the tagged image with some indexed text. With the development of machine learning technique in the domain of artificial intelligence, the feature extraction techniques become easier for CBIR. The medical images are continuously increasing day by day where each image holds some specific and unique information about some specific disease. The objectives of using CBIR in medical diagnosis are to provide correct and effective information to the specialist for the quality and efficient diagnosis of the disease. Medical image content requires different types of CBIR technique for different medical image acquisition techniques such as MRI, CT, PET Scan, USG, MRS, etc. So, in this concern, each CBIR technique has its unique feature extraction algorithm for each acquisition technique.

This article discusses a comparison of various numbers of islands in Indonesia; and it addresses a valid method of accounting or enumerating numbers of islands in Indonesia. Methodology used is an analysis to compare the different number of islands from various sources.  First, some numbers of  Indonesian islands were derived from: (i) Centre for Survey and Mapping- Indonesian Arm Forces (Pussurta ABRI) recorded as 17,508 islands; (ii) Agency for Geospatial Information (BIG) previously known as National Coordinating Agency for Surveys and Mapping (Bakosurtanal) as national mapping authority reported with 17,506 islands (after loosing islands of  Sipadan and Ligitan); (iii) Ministry of Internal Affair published 17,504 islands. Many parties have referred the number of 17,504 islands even though it has not yet been supported by back-up documents; (iv) Hidrographic Office of Indonesian Navy has released with numbers of 17,499; (v) Other sources indicated different numbers of islands, and indeed will imply to people confusion. In the other hand, the number of 13,466 named islands has a strong document (Gazetteer). Second, enumerating the total number of islands in Indonesia can be proposed by three ways: (i) island census through toponimic survey, (ii) using map, and (iii) applying remote sensing images. Third, the procedures of searching valid result in number of islands is by remote sensing approach - high resolution satellite images. The result of this work implies the needs of one geospatial data source (including total numbers of islands) in the form of ‘One Map Policy’ that will impact in the improvement of  Indonesian geographic data administration. 


In the current era, content based image retrieval based on pattern recognition and classification using machine learning paradigm is an innovative way. In order to retrieve high resolution satellite images Support Vector Machine (SVM) a machine learning paradigm is helpful for learning process and for pattern recognition and classification; ensemble methods give better machine learning results. In this paper, SVM based on random subspace and boosting ensemble learning is proposed for very high resolution satellite image retrieval. The learned SVM ensemble model is used to identify the images that most similar informative for active learning. A bias-weighting system is developed to direct the ensemble model to pay more attention on the positive examples than the negative ones. The UCMerced land use satellite image dataset is used for experimental work. Accuracy and error rate are found to be precise. The tentative effects illustrate that the proposed model derived enhanced retrieval accurateness at the optimum level as well as significantly more effective than existing approaches. The proposed method can diminish the gap dimensionality and conquer the difficulty. The comparisons are evaluated by using precision and recall measurements. Comparative analysis observed that the retrieval time for a particular image have been reduced and the precision is increased. The primary aim of this paper is to represent the significance of ensemble learning with support vector machine in efficient retrieval of image.

Spatial information regarding the arrangement of land cover objects plays an important role in distinguishing the land use types at land parcel or local neighborhood levels. This study investigates the use of graph convolutional networks (GCNs) in order to characterize spatial arrangement features for land use classification from high resolution remote sensing images, with particular interest in comparing land use classifications between different graph-based methods and between different remote sensing images. We examine three kinds of graph-based methods, i.e., feature engineering, graph kernels, and GCNs. Based upon the extracted arrangement features and features regarding the spatial composition of land cover objects, we formulated ten land use classifications. We tested those on two different remote sensing images, which were acquired from GaoFen-2 (with a spatial resolution of 0.8 m) and ZiYuan-3 (of 2.5 m) satellites in 2020 on Fuzhou City, China. Our results showed that land use classifications that are based on the arrangement features derived from GCNs achieved the highest classification accuracy than using graph kernels and handcrafted graph features for both images. We also found that the contribution to separating land use types by arrangement features varies between GaoFen-2 and ZiYuan-3 images, due to the difference in the spatial resolution. This study offers a set of approaches for effectively mapping land use types from (very) high resolution satellite images.
