The similarity join has become an important database primitive to support similarity search and data mining. A similarity join combines two sets of complex objects such that the r...
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...
Pattern matching in point sets is a well studied problem with numerous applications. We assume that the point sets may contain outliers (missing or spurious points) and are subjec...
For various applications there is the need to compare the similarity between two process models. For example, given the as-is and to-be models of a particular business process, we ...
We present an approach for robust shape retrieval from databases containing articulated 3D models. Each shape is represented by the eigenvectors of an appropriately defined affin...
