Adding Knowledge-Assistance to PC-Based Photographic Image Database Management Systems
James M. Ragusa, Gary W. Orwig, Dorothy G. Dologite, Robert J. Mockler · Information Resources Management Journal · 1993
Many information technology (IT) managers are novices when implementing high-resolution, true color, knowledge-assisted microcomputer photographic image database management systems (IDBMS). Such systems, involving high capacity image data capture, classification, compression, storage, retrieval, and transmission, have not yet been widely described in the literature nor fully implemented in practice. This paper reviews image management fundamentals for emerging digital photographic image data, discusses a prototype system under development to support NASAKennedy Space Center space shuttle ground processing operations, and focuses on the integration of knowledge-based (expert) systems embedded in the prototype to assist in image classification and retrieval. The paper concludes with the design for an integrated high capacity networked PC-LAN IDBMS.Request access from your librarian to read this article's full text.
