Multispectral Image Compression, Intelligent Analysis, and Hierarchical Search in Image Databases

Abstract

In this paper, a new approach is offered for the efficient processing and analysis of groups of multispectral images of the same objects. It comprises several tools: the Modified Inverse Pyramid Decomposition; the invariant object representation with Modified Mellin-Fourier transform, and the hierarchical search in image databases, for which the invariant representation is used. The new approach permits the definition of a large number of parameters, which are used for object analysis and evaluation. When combined with the KASER expert system, this approach yields a flexible tool for the analysis of multispectral images of the same object.
