1. CIS 493 Senior Design & Research Project Database for Image Processing <Name> Faculty Adviser: <Name>

2. Motivation • A library/database of well specified images is needed for the development of testing of image processing algorithms. • The database should be easy to manage by human operators: e.g. upload images, add descriptions, query based on features. • Application programs should automatically load image files from the server to process.

3. Project Description • Development of a picture database for image processing applications • The database has two interfaces: one for application programs to retrieve files, and one for humans to manage the database. • Requests for images will be handled by a web-server, which queries the database.

4. Methodology • Use of SQL Database, like MySQL. • Data base contains information about images, such as description of objects in the image, specifications, like size and location of image file. • Requests may include description of certain features. • Interaction to the database by applications or humans will be implemented using server side scripting with PHP.

5. Time Line (12 weeks) • Tasks: • Research on mutli-media database implementations, design of data base and interaction protocol (2 weeks). • Implementation of data base and command-line retrieval (3 weeks). • Design and Implementation of web-based user interface (3 weeks). • Image acquisition and testing (2 weeks). • Preparation of final document and presentation (2 weeks).
