Shape indexing is a way of making rapid associations between features detected in an image and object models that could have produced them. When model databases are large, the use...
The problem of similarity search (query-by-content) has attracted much research interest. It is a difficult problem because of the inherently high dimensionality of the data. The ...
The dimensionality curse has profound e ects on the effectiveness of high-dimensional similarity indexing from the performance perspective. One of the well known techniques for im...
Minkowski-sum cost model indicates that balanced data partitioning is not beneficial for high dimensional data. Thus we study several unbalanced partitioning methods and propose ...
We consider the use of data reduction techniques for the problem of approximate query answering. We focus on applications for which accurate answers to selective queries are requi...
