This paper presents an interactive platform for image information mining referred to as the switchboard. The switchboard is a dynamic object that interfaces with a hierarchical image representation structure. The latter is often a tree structure that is used as an intermediate between the image space and a multi-dimensional feature space inferred from it. The switchboard hosts the feature space and facilitates its bidirectional interactivity with the image space through the underlying tree. Its design ensures operability independent of the type of tree it interfaces with. Its functionality is demonstrated using the Alpha-Tree structure for mining building footprints from remote sensing imagery.
