Abstract
Image data is widely used for the diagnosis of problems with cultivation management, cultivation recording, growth level recording and pest diagnoses etc. In this research, we developed a system, Gateway-P2P-Node, to link the BIX Image Broker System (BIX-IBS) with existing network services. BIX-IBS provides efficient exchange of a variety of agricultural product digital image data. In this research we targeted Data Storage, the system that manages Field Server images, and ImageServer, an image processing application.
We developed Gateway-P2P-Node to link these network applications and BIX-IBS. BIX-IBS users can access both Field Server's Data Storage and ImageServer through the Gateway-P2P-Node. In this paper, we experimented via the Internet between Kinki University and Niigata University. The experimental results confirmed that BIX-IBS and the existing network service were able to be linked by Gateway-P2P-Node.
