Currently, many geographic information systems deal with only vector data. Therefore, handling raster data for various types of information is greatly needed. In this paper, we design and implement a raster processor which handles spatial information in a spatial object management system called Object Management system for Geospatial Application (OMEGA). We define the data structure of the raster information to be stored in the spatial object management system and implement it to a class library in order for use in making an application program. Furthermore, a query operation and related module is implemented to extract raster information. They are then imbedded in the query executer to process a query of the raster information. Simulation results are given.
