Advances in technology for digital image capture and storage have
caused an information overload problem in the geo-sciences. This has
compounded existing image retrieval problems whereby most image
matching is performed using content-based image retrieval
techniques. The biggest problem in this field is the so-called
semantic gap - the mismatch between the capabilities of current CBIR
systems and the user needs. One way of addressing this problem is to
develop context-based image retrieval methods. Context-based
retrieval relies on knowledge about why image contents are important
in a particular area and how specific images have been used to address
particular tasks. We are developing a case-based knowledge-management
retrieval system that employs a task-centric approach to capturing and
reusing user context. This is achieved through image annotation and
adaptive content presentation. In this paper we present an extension
of a previous implementation of our approach and a thorough evaluation
of our application.
