Image database management system. Applied theories, tools and decisions

In this paper we address the problem of building a database system for images (IM_DBMS), in which the images can be accessed by a partial description of the image content. The approach alllows a limited automatic analysis, using ARG techniques and a rule-based system for images belonging to a domain described in advance. The semantic objects, recognized in the images during the analysis process, are interpreted according to the Theory of evidence. The image query processing is based on special access structures generated from the image analysis process.
