Abstract. The paper describes a fast system for appearance based image recognition . It uses local invariant descriptors and efficient nearest neighbor search. First, local affine ...
With the proliferation of multimedia data, there is increasing need to support the indexing and searching of high dimensional data. Recently, a vector approximation based techniqu...
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 similarity join has become an important database primitive to support similarity search and data mining. A similarity join combines two sets of complex objects such that the r...
A Reverse k-Nearest-Neighbor (RkNN) query finds the objects that take the query object as one of their k nearest neighbors. In this paper we propose new solutions for evaluating R...
