This visualization system needs to present the similarities of images. Furthermore, it is required to provide an easy way to explore and navigate images’ feature space at different levels of detail. Our system utilizes a Multi-layer Geodesic Self-Organizing Map (GeodesicSOM) and Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) to increase the accuracy in data representation at different levels of detail. The Multi-layer GeodesicSOM provides fast access/navigation to a large amount of image data while the LVQ rectifies the inconsistency in topological data representation between different layers. rv:
