I am actually looking for a metaphore for an area of application in which my main interests could prove useful. Those interests are the extension of spatial database technology into the domains of image support, vague and uncertain data and so on. It occurred to me that hybtrid vector/image applications are probably primarily those in which known spatial phenomena are represented in vector data, and recent phenomena have been surveyed with images. The general idea would then be to detect change in the images, being guided by known phenomena, and eventually delineate such changes and bring them under vector format into the spatial database.
This would require a marriage of vector databases witrh image analysis platforms, hence I am looking at StarSpan or equivalent tools. I hope you will give me some ideas indetail in this area , to understand the possibilities and the limitations better.
