Geographical Information System (GIS). A 
fast retrieval and random search are basic 
necessity of a GIS. 
The prototype architecture of the image 
database system has been outlined in figure 
7.

Architecture 
To further illustrate the GIS extension to the 
system, the figure 8 describes the system 
structure of the extension module.

5 CONCLUSION 
The basic intention of the research is to 
come out with a system that is affordable by 
the developing countries. This research 
being at its infant stage of development, 
experimental results could not be discussed 
and explored. This paper basically discusses 
the idea and the concept behind the system.
