Abstract

The paper presents a relational multimedia database management system for managing visual and alphanumerical information from the medical domain. The MMDBMS offers numerical and char data types for alphanumerical information, and Image data type used for storing in an original manner the visual information. An Image data type stores the image in a binary manner, its type, its dimensions and information about color and texture that are automatically extracted. This information will be used for content-based visual query process. The color information is represented by the color histogram quantified to 166 colors in the HSV color space. The texture information is represented by a vector with 12 values resulted from the method that uses Gabor filters for texture detection. This DBMS brings up as an element of originality the visual interface for building content-based image query using color and texture characteristics and a modified Select command. This MMDBMS, implemented using Java technologies is platform independent and can be easily used by the medical personnel.
