Image-processing has implications for each of the four components of ADL. In particular, 1) for storage, wavelet transforms support hierarchical storage management, with fast retrieval appropriate for low-resolution components, and slower retrieval appropriate for high-resolution components; 2) for the catalog, metadata in the form of texture ``badges'', extracted using Gabor filtering of the images, provide additional indexing methods; 3) for the interface, wavelet transformations support the delivery of holdings at appropriate resolutions, with rapid delivery of low-resolution (``browse'') images, as well as image-match search; 4) for the ingest component, image pre-processing permits automatic extraction of some metadata, such as texture badges.
