Let be a finite, ordered alphabet, and consider a string x = x1x2 . . . xn n . A secondary index for x answers alphabet range queries of the form: Given a range [al, ar] , retu...
In this paper, we propose a new strategy for optimizing the placement of bin boundaries to minimize the cost of query evaluation using bitmap indices with binning. For attributes ...
This paper presents an e cient automatic face recognition scheme useful for video indexing applications. In particular7 the following problem is addressed: given a set of known fa...
In this paper, we propose a new technique for multidimensional query processing which can be widely applied in database systems. Our new technique, called tree striping, generalize...
This paper presents a new use of the Curvelet transform as a multiscale method for indexing linear singularities and curved handwritten shapes in documents images. As it belongs t...
