DETERMINING A MINIMAL AND INDEPENDENT SET OF IMAGE PROCESSING OPERATIONS FOR A MULTIMEDIA DATABASE SYSTEM

摘要

Instead of saving multiple versions of a large multimedia data file, it is more efficient to store only the instructions used by the editors to create the different versions. To uncompress files stored in this manner, the editor would simple perform the listed instructions. For these files to be portable, however, the set of operations used in the instructions must be standardized. To standardize a set of operations, there must be some criteria developed for the inclusion of each operation. This paper describes two desired properties of a set of image processing operations, namely minimality and independence. In addition, this paper demonstrates methods for testing for each of them.
