We present a scale-space with separate scales in the greyscale and spatial dimensions, using ideas from mathematical morphology. Dynamics are used for greyscale (luminance) filtering and openings or closings with scaled disks for spatial scaling. Dynamics cater naturally for the inclusion relationships between regions and give a very good measure of the salience (scale) of a region in greyscale...

Large-scale scientific experiments or simulation programs often generate large amounts of multidimensional data. Data volume may reach hundreds of terabytes (up to petabytes). In the present and the near future, the only practicable way for storing such large volumes of multidimensional data is tertiary storage systems. But commercial (multidimensional) database systems are optimized for perfor...
