It has been claimed that topic metadata can be used to improve the accuracy of text searches. Here, we test this claim by examining the contribution of metadata to effective search...
The generation of hypermedia (or Web-based) presentations plays an important role in information management on the World Wide Web. In applications for Web modeling and querying, in...
Using concepts from rough set theory we investigate the existence of approximative descriptions of collections of objects that can be extracted from data sets, a problem of intere...
We consider 3D object retrieval in which a polygonal mesh serves as a query and similar objects are retrieved from a collection of 3D objects. Algorithms proceed first by a normal...
A visual navigation system is described which uses texture mapped primitives to represent clusters of objects to maintain high and approximately constant frame rates. In cases whe...
