Abstract. We propose an indexing technique for the fast retrieval of objects in 2D images based on similarity between their boundary shapes. Our technique is robust in the presence...
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...
The advent of affordable, shared-nothing computing systems portends a new class of parallel database management systems (DBMS) for on-line transaction processing (OLTP) applicatio...
Locality-Sensitive Hashing (LSH) and its variants are wellknown methods for solving the c-approximate NN Search problem in high-dimensional space. Traditionally, several LSH funct...
In this paper we introduce POLAR, a probabilistic objectoriented logical framework for annotation-based information retrieval. In POLAR, the knowledge about digital objects, annot...
