Abstract:
A new approach of using the VQ codewords as the remote sensed image features for content based retrieval is proposed in this research. Different distortion measures are tried in the VQ stage to enhance the performance of the codewords as "content descriptors"including classification accuracy. A system based approach has been taken to ensure that the features satisfy the different criteria imposed by a whole system. We implemented two main types of queries- query by class and query by value. The performance with respect to the former query was satisfactory while that for the latter query was excellent.
