The database structure and data manipulation capabilities of a generalized PICture Database Management System (PICDMS) are presented. They are based on a dynamic, stacked-image, logical database structure that uses gridded, rather than topological, data representation. A prototype PICDMS has been designed and implemented. A commercial version is being used as a generator of image processing programs. The system has novel capabilities for nonprogrammer users: it is able to 1) build multiple…

PROBE Spatial Data Modeling and Query Processing in an Image Database Application
TLDR
An overview of PROBE is provided, focusing on the facilities for dealing with spatial and temporal data, and how thePROBE database system and simple application-specific object classes combine to efficiently support PROBe's spatial data model.
Management of multidimensional discrete data
TLDR
A set of requirements is developed, a small set of language constructs are proposed (based on a formal algebraic semantics), and a novel MDD architecture is outlined to provide the basis for efficient MDD query evaluation.
