Abstract

The integration of similarity-based data retrieval techniques into database management systems, in order to efficiently support multimedia data, is currently an active research issue. In this paper, we first demonstrate the necessity of introducing novel similarity-based operations in image databases, with example queries. Then, we introduce our image data repository model that is designed to support similarity-based operations under the object-relational database paradigm. We then define novel similarity-based algebraic operators that are frequently required and study their properties in image database management systems. Finally, we investigate the possibilities of extending the proposed image table model to support salient-based operations on image database systems.
