Advances in technology for digital image capture have given rise to
information overload problems in the geosciences and fields that rely
on geospatial image retrieval. To help address such imagery
information overload, our research is developing methods to extract
and apply contextual knowledge relating user task goals to the images
being used. As users analyze imagery retrieved to support specific
tasks, multiple relevant images and salient image content can be
captured together with task annotations to provide a basis for
contextual knowledge management support. This paper describes how our
environment for image interaction leverages captured task-based
knowledge to support adaptive presentation and navigation in the space
of available imagery.
