Our Work: Image Information Mining (Satellite Images) “Image processing” versus “image mining” Image processing example: Take images of forested areas. How much biomass do we have? Image pre-processing, classification and analysis, model support Image mining example: Search for North Sea images with oil slicks. How much improvement do we have over the years? Feature extraction, active learning, semantic annotation, candidate image retrieval and analysis > Lecture > Author Document > Datewww.DLR.de Chart 4
