PostPic: A PostgreSQL extension for image-processing

PostPic is an extension for the open source PostgreSQL dbms that enables image processing inside the database, like PostGIS does for spatial data. It adds the new 'image' type to the SQL, and several functions to process images and to extract their attributes.

Eg.

  select * from images 
           where date(the_img) > '2009-01-01'::date
           and size(the_img) > 1600;

Traditional relational clauses can be combined in queries with image-related ones, and basic image processing can be performed in SQL.

Resources

PostPic is hosted at GitHub, there you can find all the code releases and the project Wiki with detailed documentation about the project.
