Status Report on Image Information Systems and Image Data Base Technology

Abstract

The contents of this report form part of a study to determine guideline's for the establishment of databases containing digital imagery and ancillary information. It begins with an introduction to the basic concepts of databases. This provides the background to the terminology commonly used in this report and other related literature. A review of current commercially available database systems is made, drawing principally on a market study conducted in mid 1989. Of specific interest is the extent to which image databases are being utilized and the applications which use digital imagery (or pictures) in database management systems (DBMS). Finally, there is an overview of image compression techniques, considering the current trends and future directions of the field. Australia.
