Abstract: | Digital Orthographic Map (DOM) can be used in various applications because it contains both image features and terrain information. Spatial database management systems aim at the effective and efficient management of data related to a space,engineering design and so on. Thereby spatial database provides an efficient solution for managing DOM. According to large amounts of the DOM data in storage, a data compression based on wavelet is introduced into the storage. Another strategy to solve this problem is to decompose the raw image into tiles and store the tiles individually as separate tuples. The metadata of DOM can be used to organize and manage spatial information,especially for spatial data sharing and fast locating. A tool for browsing, zooming and querying the DOM data is also designed. We implemented these ideas in SISP (Spatial Information Sharing System) and applied the subsystem into the DOM management of Beijing City, which is an component of the Beijing Spatial Information Infrastructure. |
