Expert systems and imaging - NASA's start-up work in intelligent image managementThe problem of image management for NASA's Space Shuttle program and the future role of expert systems are considered. The difficulties involved in the storage and retrieval of the estimated 100,000 color photographs used for verification of essential installation, test, and repair procedures for Space Shuttle prelaunch are discussed. It is noted that the collection, classification, storage, and retrieval of high-quality pictoral images is possible through the use of pixels and an expert systems-assisted relational data base management system. The development of a query by pictorial example process is discussed. The NASA Intelligent Interactive Visual Data Base Management Systems project is detailed. It aims to conduct a systems analysis of a large-scale traditional image processing operation, collect data on critical human performance factors in the areas of image creation, processing, classification, storage, and retreival, and validate the attributes identified through the creation and testing of prototype models.
