In this paper pivoting M-tree (PM-tree) is introduced, a metric access method combining M-tree with the pivot-based approach. While in M-tree a metric region is represented by a hy...
Similarity search is a fundamental operation for applications that deal with unstructured data sources. In this paper we propose a new pivot-based method for similarity search, ca...

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...
Abstract. The retrieval of objects from a multimedia database employs a measure which defines a similarity score for every pair of objects. The measure should effectively follow th...
