This paper presents an efficient indexing and retrieval scheme for searching in document image databases. In many non-European languages, optical character recognizers are not very...
This paper presents the rudiments of a theory of schema design for databases containing high dimensional features of the type used for describing multimedia data. We introduce a mo...
Abstract. Nearest neighbor search has a wide variety of applications. Unfortunately, the majority of search methods do not scale well with dimensionality. Recent efforts have been ...
Fractal image encoding is a computationally intensive method of compression due to its need to find the best match between image sub-blocks by repeatedly searching a large virtual...
In this paper we introduce the notion of constrained nearest neighbor queries (CNN) and propose a series of methods to answer them. This class of queries can be thought of as neare...
