This thesis deals with the methodology and the theoretical background necessary to
achieve rapid recovery of a sufficiently large number of satellite images that are stored in a
database. It is worth noting that the use and application of various algorithms is the tool
that will help in this direction.
The purpose of this thesis is to propose a methodology that through a fairly large volume
of satellite imagery and the implementation of an algorithm the user can at a relative speed
(via the distribution server) to determine the area from where the satellite image.
Specifically, the first chapter presents some introductory concepts on the satellite images
and nature of electromagnetic wave which is the root cause of all produced images.
Moreover, we refer to the importance of photo-interpretation being done as part of an
image evaluation (satellite image or aerial).
In the second chapter we analyze the architecture of an image retrieval based on the
content, which differs from that based on the text. Furthermore, reference is made to the
semantic gap created due to the inability of low-level features to describe high-level
concepts.
In the third chapter we follow the concepts and deepen the internal characteristics
(features) of satellite images. These characteristics are those that affect the grouping to be
done and will ultimately determine the classes that will integrate our imagery. Within this
section are presented satellite images with their histograms.
The fourth chapter refers to the clustering technology cluster as the algorithms included in
this category. In particular, we make an analysis of the k-means, fuzzy c-means, spectral
clustering and DBSCAN algorithms. At the same time, there is a brief description of these
algorithms accompanied by their advantages and disadvantages, whereas is also been done
a small compare among those three (fuzzy c-means, spectral clustering, DBCSAN) and the
most popular and widely known k-means algorithm.
The fifth chapter contains the applied part of this thesis. Moreover, we apply two of the
aforementioned algorithms in a series of samples of the satellite images of our database. In
this way, k-means and fuzzy c-means that are programmed in Matlab code are being
applied in a series of features extracted from our satellite images. This procedure in being
done in order to recommend the optimal method of recovery of such images from a
distribution server.
Finally, the sixth chapter draws some useful conclusions from the implementation of the
aforementioned algorithms, and analyzes the reasons and causes of the results obtained. |
