The explosive growth of multimedia data poses serious challenges to data storage, management and search. Efficient near-duplicate detection is one of the required technologies for...
In this paper, we identify and solve a new type of spatial queries, called continuous visible nearest neighbor (CVNN) search. Given a data set P, an obstacle set O, and a query li...
Adaptable similarity queries based on quadratic form distance functions are widely popular in data mining applications, particularly for domains such as multimedia, CAD, molecular ...
Most research on music retrieval systems is based on monophonic musical sequences. In this paper, we investigate techniques for a full polyphonic music retrieval system. A method ...
Complex similarity queries, i.e., multi-feature multi-object queries, are needed to express the information need of a user against a large multimedia repository. Even if a user in...
