As a system for collecting

storing

analyzing

processing and managing geography spatial data

GIS's spatial data are mainly composed of vector data and grid data. The existing GIS systems are mostly based on vector data and have a great ability to establish and manage vector database. But they have poor ability to process grid data

especially to organize

schedule

store and manage mass grid data

without mentioning the ability to manage and integrate the multi source

multi scale and multi phase image data. This paper does a deep research and a thorough discussion of mass image database and its realization and application. The paper mainly discusses the research background

system organization and implementation of mass image database(IMIDB) based on relational database system(RDBMS) and component object model(COM). It focuses on the logical design(including the selection of Database

the organization and the storage of remote sensing data); Web publishing architecture of remote sensing images in IMIDB and the application of its Component Object Model. Finally

a test of this system is done and the result of the test is given. From the result

we give a conclusion that the system has reached the aim of the design.
