Abstract--This paper offers a new technique for spatially adaptive estimation. The local likelihood is exploited for nonparametric modeling of observations and estimated signals. T...
In this paper, we present an experimental evaluation of three color-spatial retrieval techniques -- the signaturebased technique, the partition-based algorithm and the cluster-bas...
Estimating the selectivity of queries is a crucial problem in database systems. Virtually all database systems rely on the use of selectivity estimates to choose amongst the many ...
Abstract. Knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) is an important task in spatial databases since both, the number and the size of such databases are rapidly growing. This paper int...
Geographic information systems (GIS) must support large georeferenced data sets. Due to the size of these data sets finding exact answers to spatial queries can be very time consum...
