The HERON-project investigates the impact of multimedia database technology on applications in the humanities using heraldry as a sample application. Besides digitizational tasks the main focus is on intuitive retrieval of image material by content-based queries and efficient Internet services. For the preparation of image material effective algorithms for image segmentation have been developed. The architecture of the prototypical HERON-system aims at implementing innovative middleware for efficient integration and delivery of multimedia result sets.
