Abstract

This paper begins with a brief overview of formal concepts involved in specification of images in spatial information systems. It is shown how several efficient string processing algorithms can be used for approximation, compression and analysis of images. We discuss main adjustments required for applying string algorithms in order to analyze spatial data. A first basic practical polynomial algorithm for finding all maximal repeated rectangular patterns in an image is included to illustrate our general approach.
