Object-oriented data model for scanning probe microscopy image processing

摘要

An object-oriented data model for the elaboration of scanning probe microscopy information is proposed. This data model provides a comfortable interoperability between different types of data, presented as visual objects. On the other hand, this model correlates with modern compound document programming technology, and can be implemented within a client-server application, exploiting the benefits of distributed data systems. Such a data model is suitable for scanning probe microscopy image processing, and could be useful for some other research fields, allowing the integration of a huge amount of composite data.
