Imagery &
Database
The ever-increasing volumes of imagery data bring great opportunities for
us to better understand and monitor our environment. In the meantime,
efficient managing and timely accessing these valuable assets also impose
a great challenge. Collected in different resolutions from various sources
such as satellites imageries, radar images, aerial photos, scanned maps,
imagery data tend to be huge in size. A complete USGS DEM (Digital
Elevation Model) covering continental United States at 30 meter
resolution may take up 70 gigabytes of file space, if the resolution goes
higher the size will grow exponentially. Current available sensors are
capable of producing images down to centimeter resolution.
The volume adds up easily. In modern enterprise environments, more and
more companies and organizations stay connected both within the
community and across. With the popularities of internet and web
services, more than ever, professionals and ordinary users are relying
heavily on centralized data storage system to obtain appropriate data and
information and utilize them on regular basis. Duplicating of such large
amount of imagery data on every single client machine is costly,
inconvenient, and unnecessary. .A robust and flexible centralized image
data management system is more appealing.

What is the use of image
database?

•An image database

system organizes digital pictures
into a central location for fast
sharing and retrievability. It is
the storage element of digital
asset management (DAM), giving
DAM users extensive features.
These features include tools that
allow users to upload, search
and share company graphics.
Tip: Our compact guide takes a closer look at the
following free image databases, where you are
guaranteed to find what you're looking for:

• Unsplash.
• Pixabay.
• Pexels.
• Wikimedia Commons.
• Picjumbo.
• Pixelio.
• Gratisography.
• KaboomPics.
•Which database is used for image processing?

•The USC-SIPI image database is a collection of digitized images. It is

maintained primarily to support research in image processing, image
analysis, and machine vision. The first edition of the USC-SIPI image
database was distributed in 1977 and many new images have been added
since then.
