The purpose of the paper is to develop typhoon image database system that provides content-based search on both text-based and image-based information. In particular the author focuses on the shape and motion information that can be derived from satellite images, which is a challenging subject of research for complex shape and non-rigid motion analysis. Many kinds of algorithms are developed for this purpose, and the author shows the result of similarity-based retrieval of typhoon images.
