Nearest neighbor (NN) search in high dimensional space is an important problem in many applications. Ideally, a practical solution (i) should be implementable in a relational data...
To effectively support today's global economy, database systems need to store and manipulate text data in multiple languages simultaneously. Current database systems do suppor...
In this paper, we present a novel indexing technique called Multi-scale Similarity Indexing (MSI) to index image’s multi-features into a single one-dimensional structure. Both f...
We introduce Linear Efficient Antialiased Normal (LEAN) Mapping, a method for real-time filtering of specular highlights in bump and normal maps. The method evaluates bumps as p...
In recent years, several methods have been proposed for implementing interactive similarity queries on multimedia databases. Common to all these methods is the idea to exploit use...
