Introduction to Imaging: Issues in Constructing an Image Database

by Howard Besser

Introduction to Imaging: Issues in Constructing an Image Database Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This primer introduces the technology and vocabulary of digital imaging and illustrates the choices that must be made when images are digitized. In addition to explaining the creation of digital images databases, the book identifies such fundamental issues as how to integrate an image database with other information resources and how to interchange visual information among a variety of computerized systems. The authors recommend strategies to ensure that future technological developments will not foreclose the options of upgrading databases and also provide a glossary of basic terms and a helpful bibliography. Introduction to Imaging is an essential tool for curators, librarians, collection managers, administrators, scholars, and students--anyone whose professional work has been changed by this new technology.

Synopsis:

The distribution of digital images over the Internet has made our cultural heritage available to a wider audience than ever before. Creative use of digital-imaging technology has the potential to change the nature of teaching and research. This title introduces the technology and the vocabulary of digital imaging as they relate to the development of image databases depicting works in museum collections. It will help institutions develop strategies regarding the use of these technologies. Includes a resource list, bibliography, and glossary.
