—We present an algorithm that finds the rotation which best aligns a given configuration of directions on an unsorted set of directions. Using a cost function that we derive in...

Summarizing topological relations is fundamental to many spatial applications including spatial query optimization. In this paper, we examine the selectivity estimation for range w...
The ray shooting problem arises in many different contexts and is a bottleneck of ray tracing in computer graphics. Unfortunately, theoretical solutions to the problem are not ver...
Relational index structures, as for instance the Relational Interval Tree, the Relational R-Tree, or the Linear Quadtree, support efficient processing of queries on top of existing...

Histograms are used to summarize the contents of relations into a number of buckets for the estimation of query result sizes. Several techniques (e.g., MaxDiff and V-Optimal) have ...
