Efficient evaluation of similarity queries is one of the basic requirements for advanced multimedia applications. In this paper, we consider the relevant case where complex similar...
A novel indexing and access method, called Affinity Hybrid Tree (AH-Tree), is proposed to organize large image data sets efficiently and to support popular image access mechanisms...
In many database applications involving string data, it is common to have near neighbor queries (asking for strings that are similar to a query string) or nearest neighbor queries...
In this paper, we propose a Distance-based Sequence Indexing Method (DSIM) for indexing and searching genome databases. Borrowing the idea of video compression, we compress the ge...
