We introduce a novel spatial join operator, the ring-constrained join (RCJ). Given two sets P and Q of spatial points, the result of RCJ consists of pairs p, q (where p P, q Q) ...
Spatial co-location patterns represent the subsets of events whose instances are frequently located together in geographic space. We identified the computational bottleneck in the...
Spatial indexes, such as the PMR quadtree, are important in spatial databases for efficient execution of queries involving spatial constraints, especially when the queries involv...
When integrating geo-spatial datasets, a join algorithm is used for finding sets of corresponding objects (i.e., objects that represent the same real-world entity). Algorithms for...
: Structural queries constitute a special form of content-basedretrieval where the user specifiesa set of spatial constraints among query variables and asks for all configurations ...
