Abstract
Satellite images are numerous and weakly exploited: it is urgent to develop efficient and fast indexing algorithms to facilitate their access. In order to determinate the best features to be extracted, we propose a methodology based on automatic feature selection algorithms, applied unsupervisingly on a strongly redundant features set. In this article we also demonstrate the usefulness of consensus clustering as a feature selection algorithm, allowing selected number of features estimation and exploration facilities. The efficiency of our approach is demonstrated on SPOT5 images.
