Description
The visual way of expressing and comprehending information is perhaps the most ancient, immediate and effective way. Image processing and database technologies came of age during the Eighties, though a new challenge arose from the need to handle not only the complexity of pictures, but also a large volume of pictures. Extending database technologies to capture visual aspects is an exciting new research area. This second volume highlights the latest results from leading laboratories all over the world, identifying new research directions. Main subject areas include: theory of spatial representations; image indexing and query techniques; visual and multimedia data structures; visual interfaces and object oriented approaches; and access and search methodologies on moving pictures.
