Efficient user-adaptable similarity search more and more increases in its importance for multimedia and spatial database systems. As a general similarity model for multi-dimension...
A systematic approach to modeling of deformable soft parts for their manipulation is presented. Various deformable parts such as cords, leather products, and sheet metals are mani...
In this paper we present an efficient and general approach to computing and integrating 3D distance fields directly from multiple range images. We compute normal and confidence va...
A range-max query finds the maximum value over all selected cells of an on-line analytical processing (OLAP) data cube where the selection is specified by ranges of contiguous val...
With the amount of data in current data warehouse databases growing steadily, random sampling is continuously gaining in importance. In particular, interactive analyses of large d...
