This paper presents research in the field of knowledge management for
geo-spatial imagery including scanned aerial photos and satellite
images. We have developed a web-based system that allows users to
query a database of images not only using metadata, but also drawing
sketches of configurations of objects they are interested in as well
as inputting textual descriptions of their intended task. Our system
integrates case-based reasoning techniques to form a knowledge base
from previously issued queries that can be exploited to improve future
query processing and to build organizational memory through experience
capture. The effective design and implementation of a user-friendly
graphic user interface plays an important role for the system to
provide improved human-computer interaction and decision support.
