A Visual Representation of Complex Relationships for Object-Oriented Databases
نویسندگان
چکیده
It becomes complicated to represent complex object structures as a network of nodes and arcs when a large volume of objects is to be browsed. This paper presents the issues of designing and implementing an icon-based graphic user interface for representing complex relationship instances as a node-and-link form. The iconbased browser presented in this paper supports the simplification of the visual representation of complex relationships among instance level objects by introducing a new browsing method which uses instance-set-icon, active/inactive link, and inactive icon. We also discuss the issues of implementing a two-layer architecture which consists of a stored object layer and a window object layer in order to realize the simplified visual representation of complex relationships. The icon-based browsing for complex object structures has been implemented by using the Xl 1 Motif.

Large numbers of classes, complex inheritance and containment graphs, and diverse patterns of dynamic interaction all contribute to difficulties in understanding, reusing, debugging, and tuning large object-oriented systems. These difficulties may have a significant impact on the usefulness of such systems. Tools that help in understanding the contents and behaviour of an object-oriented enviro...
متن کاملVisual Tracking using Learning Histogram of Oriented Gradients by SVM on Mobile Robot
The intelligence of a mobile robot is highly dependent on its vision. The main objective of an intelligent mobile robot is in its ability to the online image processing, object detection, and especially visual tracking which is a complex task in stochastic environments. Tracking algorithms suffer from sequence challenges such as illumination variation, occlusion, and background clutter, so an a...

متن کاملAugmenting the Performance of Existing OODBMS Benchmarks
Object oriented databases are widely popular for their complex data support and data relationships. Several object oriented database products are now coming to the market. Existing benchmarks are inadequate in testing the complex data support, concurrency control and performance of the database. They do not exploit the object oriented features native to the databases. This paper aims in highlig...
متن کاملGeographic Visual Query Languages and Ambiguities Treatment
The main issues of spatial databases and Geographic Information System (GIS), concern the representation, the management and the manipulation of a large and complex number of spatial objects and spatial relationships. In these systems many concepts are spatial and, therefore they are intrinsically related with a visual representation, which makes also easier to formulate queries by non-expert u...
