Efficient evaluation of spatial join is an important issue in spatial databases. The traditional evaluation strategy is to perform a join of “minimum bounding rectangles” (mbr...
This paper presents a query optimizer module based on cost estimation that chooses the best filtering step algorithm to perform a specific spatial join operation. A set of express...
The result of a distance join operation on two sets of objects R, S on a spatial network G is a set P of object pairs <p, q>, p R, q S such that the distance of an object ...
The Partitioned Based Spatial-Merge Join (PBSM) of Patel and DeWitt and the Size Separation Spatial Join (S3 J) of Koudas and Sevcik are considered to be among the most efficient ...
Spatial co-location patterns represent the subsets of features whose instances are frequently located together in geographic space. Co-location pattern discovery presents challeng...
