This workshop will explore issues in the design, management and creation of image databases, including capture, storage, display, networking, standards,
compression, copyright, metadata, and digital archiving. Participants will learn the issues involved in creating and maintaining image databases and making these available on the Web, as well as how to evaluate image
database tools and products. Examples will be taken from existing or prototypical image database systems used in a variety of environments. New technologies and approaches such as content-based image retrieval, DVD, and
image distribution testbeds will be explained. The workshop will be primarily lecture format, liberally illustrated with slides and overhead transparencies. The workshop is aimed at the information professional with
little or no knowledge of the issues involved in creating an image database. The goal is to provide an understanding of some of the complexities. Participants will gain the knowledge needed before undertaking image
database projects of their own. |
