Abstract

A prototype intelligent image database system based on a new pictorial data structure is presented in this paper. This prototype system supports spatial reasoning, flexible image information retrieval, visualization, and traditional image database operations. The new pictorial data structure based upon 2-D strings provides an efficient means for iconic indexing in image database systems, and spatial reasoning. The modular design of IIDS facilitates its implementation. Further extensions of the prototype system are discussed. © 1988 IEEE
