Abstract
An approach is provided for priority ranking of satellite images. The approach, for example, involves processing a plurality of images using a feature detector to determine a set of features on each image of the plurality of images. The approach also involves determining a count of feature correspondences between each pair of images of the plurality of images based on the set of features of said each image. The approach further involves computing a ranking of the plurality of images based on the count of features correspondences between said each pair of images. The approach further involves providing the ranking of the plurality of images as an output for selecting one or more images of the plurality of images for feature creation.
