We propose the mqr-tree, a two-dimensional spatial access method that improves upon the 2DR-tree. The 2DRtree uses two-dimensional nodes so that the relationships between all obje...
Efficient processing of distance-based queries (DBQs) is of great importance in spatial databases due to the wide area of applications that may address such queries. The most repr...
Search operations in databases require some special support at the physical level. This is true for conventional databases as well as for spatial databases, where typical search o...
A method for compression of large binary images is proposed for applications where spatial access to the image is required. The proposed method is a two-stage combination of forwa...
