PICQUERY: A High Level Query Language for Pictorial Database Management

چکیده

A reasonably comprehensive set of data accessing and manipulation operations that should be supported by a generalized pictorial database management system (PDBMS) is proposed. A corresponding high level query language, PICQUERY, is presented and illustrated through examples. PICQUERY has been designed with a flavor similar to QBE as the highly nonprocedural and conversational language for the pictorial database management system PICDMS, designed and developed at UCLA. PICQUERY and a relational QBE-like language would form the language by which a user may access conventional relational data bases and at the same time pictorial databases managed by PICDMS or other robust PDBMS. This language interface is part of an architecture toward data heterogeneity’transparency over pictorial and nonpictorial databases.

Towards a Semantic Image Database System

Li Yang and Jiankang Wu have designed a semantic image database system (OISDBS) for structural management of image data. They describe a semantic image data model and propose a diagrammatic query language with a Query-by-example (QBE) in order to manipulate the pictorial database directly. They also describe an implementation of OISDBS build on ISDBS, a relational image database system. In this...

Pictorial queries by image similarity

A method for specifying pictorial queries to an image database is introduced. A pictorial query specification consists of a query image, and a similarity level that specifies the required extent of similarity between the query image and database images that are to be retrieved. The query image is constructed by positioning objects so that the desired locational and spatial constraints hold. Two...

Pictorial Query Specification for Browsing Through Image Databases

A pictorial query specification technique that enables the formulation of complex pictorial queries for browsing through an image database is presented. Using our technique, it is possible to specify which particular objects should appear in the target images as well as how many occurrences of each object are required. Moreover, it is possible to specify the minimum required certainty of matchi...
