The result of a distance join operation on two sets of objects R, S on a spatial network G is a set P of object pairs <p, q>, p R, q S such that the distance of an object ...
A hierarchical framework for the recognition of complex deformable shapes is developed. In extension to traditional approaches an additional layer of control is introduced to guid...
