We consider spatial databases and queries definable using first-order logic and real polynomial inequalities. We are interested in topological queries: queries whose result only ...
Spatial indexes, such as the PMR quadtree, are important in spatial databases for efficient execution of queries involving spatial constraints, especially when the queries involv...
We describe the design and implementation of QBISM (Query By Interactive, Spatial Multimedia), a prototype for querying and visualizing 3D spatial data. Our first application is i...

This tutorial provides a comprehensive and comparative overview of general techniques to efficiently support similarity queries in spatial, temporal, spatio-temporal, and multimedi...
Probabilistic data have recently become popular in applications such as scientific and geospatial databases. For images and other spatial datasets, probabilistic values can capture...
