Symbolic Projection for Image Information Retrieval and Spatial Reasoning: Theory, Applications and Systems for Image Information Retrieval and Spatial Reasoning

Edited by Shi-Kuo Chang, Edited by Erland Jungert, Series edited by Richard C. Green, Series edited by Doug Gray, Series edited by Edward J. Powers






| book description |

Information systems with an abundance of graphics data are growing rapidly due to advances in data storage technology, the development of multimedia communications across networks and the fact that parallel computers are leading to faster image processing systems.;This volume addresses image information retrieval and spatial reasoning using an approach called symbolic projection, which supports descriptions of the image content on the basis of the spatial relationships between the pictorial objects. Image information systems have a variety of applications, including information retrieval on the World Wide Web, medical pictorial archiving, computer-aided design, robotics, and geographical informations systems, and this work is illustrated with examples from these areas.;Symbolic projection now forms the basis of a great number and range of information retrieval algorithms, and also supports query-by-picture and qualitative spatial reasoning.
