Abstract

The authors discuss how the characteristics of image data and requirements of image-intensive applications can affect the utility of mass-storage systems in very large image archive applications. They discuss the need for balancing mass-storage and networking architectures to meet the needs of such applications. They describe a hierarchical image representation scheme which has been shown to provide efficient access to large-image archives. Finally, they describe a large-image test bed (ImNET) currently being used at TASC to evaluate image representation and access concepts and to study their impact on distributed computing systems
