One crucial task for e-commerce systems is to help buyers find products that not only satisfy their preferences but also reduce their search effort. Usually the amount of availa...
Active Shape Model (ASM) is one of the most popular methods for image alignment. To improve its matching accuracy, in this paper, ASM searching method is combined with a simplifie...
Exploiting the concepts of social networking represents a novel approach to the approximate similarity query processing. We present a metric social network where relations between...
A new access method, called M-tree, is proposed to organize and search large data sets from a generic "metric space", i.e. where object proximity is only defined by a di...
