Spatial data are often stored in a database with the finest level of details. The problem of cartographic generalization of spatial data concerns deriving spatial data with proper...
Searching for similar objects in metric-space databases can be efficiently solved by using index data structures. A number of alternative sequential indexes have been proposed in...
Spatial database operations are typically performed in two steps. In the filtering step, indexes and the minimum bounding rectangles (MBRs) of the objects are used to quickly dete...
