Scalable approximate query processing with the DBO engine
This paper describes query processing in the DBO database system. Like other database systems designed for ad-hoc, analytic processing, DBO is able to compute the exact answer to ...

A Straight Skeleton Approximating the Medial Axis
We propose the linear axis, a new skeleton for polygonal shapes. It is related to the medial axis and the straight skeleton, being the result of a wavefront propagation process. Th...

Nonlinear Approximation and Image Representation using Wavelets
We address the problem of finding sparse wavelet representations of high-dimensional vectors. We present a lower-bounding technique and use it to develop an algorithm for computi...

Fast Approximation of High-Order Voronoi Diagrams and Distance Transforms on the GPU
We present a graphics hardware implementation of the tangent-plane algorithm for computing the kth-order Voronoi diagram of a set of point sites in image space. Correct and effici...
