Semantic Eye Semantic Based UAV Images Repository and Searching System

Abstract

Manual management of UAV/Satellite images was highly inefficient as the volume of images grows exponentially with time. Searching of images was become impossible in this situation. So to cope this problem we have developed a web based system named “Semantic Eye”. This system is capable of storing a huge amount of images with their metadata (like objects in images, geospatial coordinates, mission date etc.) and search those images semantically and very efficiently. We have used ASP.Net, Java, C#, Protégé, Jena to develop this system. When the user will upload the image he can tag different regions and objects of image, give its metadata like date, time, coordinates, comments. User can also pre‐process this image. This image will be stored in HDF (Database used by NASA to store scientific data in bulk) database and also published semantically for search purpose. For searching the images user will give the criteria like objects in images, coordinated, location, date, time etc. The image is searched semantically using Jena API. Once the image is searched user can tag, preprocess or comment on image. This project is completed under supervision of Maj Dr Naveed Iqbal Rao [IPC MCS] and Lec. Amna Basharat [FAST‐NU].
