Object-oriented image database model

: In this paper we analyze some existing tools and approaches to image data modeling and we propose an Object-Oriented Image Data (OOID) model. It can be applied on a wide variety of image collections. The model employs multiple logical representations of an image. The logical image representation can be viewed as le level abstraction of the physical image view. The OOID model is based on the analysis of different image application domains such as: medical images, house furnishing design plans, electronic schema catalogues and geographical information systems. The proposed model could be used as a frame for designing and building a wide range of image database systems and can be included as a part of the MPEG-7 standard. It can be treated as an extension of the image database models [3, 4]. An example for applying the OOID model to a plant picture database is given, as well as the realization of the model in the Sofia Image Database System. Key words: Data models, image databases Image...
