Image Server


Description

Goals and Results

Settled in the field of quality testing, the aim of this project was to specify the requirements for a system to store and retrieve digitized photographs and to develop a prototyp. Special challenges arose from the heterogeneity of the given distributed system environment and the easy integration into already existing application programs managing the corresponding measure results.

The prototyp is based on a multi-layered client/server architecture and offers several clients the access to several image bases in a controlled way. Images are stored in an internal neutral format to reduce the complexity of their conversion and adaption between different input/output devices.
