Abstract

Large amounts of remote sensing satellite data is available but the sheer amount of information makes it difficult to find land areas based on their content rather than readily available attributes such as geographic position. A content- based image retrieval system for remote sensing images is presented in this paper as an attempt to solve the problem of finding specific land areas based on their texture. The system makes use of a bank of Gabor filters for feature extraction and a one-class support vector machine for classification. Very promising results are obtained.
