A frequent type of query in spatial networks (e.g., road networks) is to find the K nearest neighbors (KNN) of a given query object. With these networks, the distances between ob...
For an increasing number of modern database applications, efficient support of similarity search becomes an important task. Along with the complexity of the objects such as images...
A k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) query retrieves k objects from a database that are considered to be the closest to a given query point. Numerous techniques have been proposed in the p...
We consider approaches for exact similarity search in a high dimensional space of correlated features representing image datasets, based on principles of clustering and vector qua...
As databases increasingly integrate different types of information such as time-series, multimedia and scientific data, it becomes necessary to support efficient retrieval of mult...
