INTELLIGENT IMAGE DATABASE SYSTEMS

edited by S K Chang (Univ. Pittsburgh & Knowledge Systems Inst., USA), E Jungert (Swedish Defence Res. Establishment, Sweden) & G Tortora (Univ. Salerno, Italy)

This book covers the principles and recent research results in intelligent image database systems design. Special emphasis is placed on spatial reasoning and the techniques for image indexing and retrieval, mainly based on the Theory of Symbolic Projection. In addition, applications of the theory and techniques to intelligent image database systems design are also discussed.
