SPIRE: A Progressive Content-Based Spatial Image Retrieval Engine
Summary: Progressive, content-based SPIRE for multimodal unstructured data; supports image, image sequence, time series, and parametric data in large archives. Dynamic-programming–guided scheduling with hierarchical decorrelation enables progressive refinement on small data portions, yielding 20x+ speedups for template matching/classification and 400–800% for texture extraction, validated on solar flares and petroleum exploration.
