The Implementation of a Pipe-lined Grid Coverage and Grid Coverage Processor

This paper describes the way to embody the grid coverage and the grid coverage processor which can construct pipelines. The pipeline constructed by the developed grid coverages has internal pipelines that have different resolution and it provides the way of access to very large datasets efficiently. Several operations, such as filtering, image enhancement and band operation, are embedded in the developed grid coverage and grid coverage processor COM components. The practical usefulness of the developed grid coverage and grid coverage processor has been proven by applying them in developing an image processing software for very large images.
