Fusion Similarity-Based Re-Ranking For Sar Image Retrieval: Abstract

The document proposes a new reranking method called fusion similarity-based reranking to improve the performance of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image retrieval. The method first picks top ranked SAR images from initial retrieval results for reranking. It then estimates relevance scores for the images using different visual features and defines a fusion similarity to measure resemblance between images using the scores. An existing reranking function is then used to rerank the images based on the scores and similarities.

FUSION SIMILARITY-BASED RE-RANKING FOR SAR IMAGE

RETRIEVAL

Abstract:
A new reranking method, fusion similarity-based reranking, is proposed in this
letter to improve the performance of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image retrieval.
First, the top ranked SAR images within the initial retrieval results are picked for
reranking. Considering the negative influence of the speckle noise, three SAR-oriented
visual features are selected to represent them. In addition, the different relevance scores
corresponding to an SAR image are estimated in various modalities (i.e., different
feature spaces). Second, a fusion similarity is defined under the relevance score space to
measure the resemblance between two SAR images. This fusion similarity is calculated
using the modal-image matrix, which is construed by the estimated scores to integrate
the contributions of all modalities. Finally, an existing reranking function is adopted to
rerank the SAR images with the help of the estimated scores and calculated fusion
similarities. The positive experimental results demonstrate that our reranking method is
effective and efficient.

Proposed System :
When the user inputs a query SAR image q , the initial retrieval results can be
obtained by any RSIR/SAR image retrieval method. Then, the top ranked SAR images  in
retreived results can be picked for reranking. To represent the SAR image from different
aspects and suppress the speckle noise, we extract several SAR-oriented visual features
from the SAR images within Ito describe them simultaneously.
