A multimodal approach to time-invariant scene retrieval from single overhead image

We investigate a practical problem of time-invariant scene retrieval from single airport overhead image. A multimodal approach is developed to solving for the problem, in which an efficient method using image modality data is developed for time-specific object detection, and a method using graphics modality data is developed for removal of the detected objects. Theoretical analyses and experimental evaluations show the efficiency and the effectiveness of the approach.
