In Reverse Engineering a physical object is digitally reconstructed from a set of boundary points. In the segmentation phase these points are grouped into subsets to facilitate co...
The similarity join has become an important database primitive to support similarity search and data mining. A similarity join combines two sets of complex objects such that the r...
In this paper, we identify and solve a new type of spatial queries, called continuous visible nearest neighbor (CVNN) search. Given a data set P, an obstacle set O, and a query li...
The complexity of deploying high-performance spatial structures in transactional DBMS environments has motivated researchers to experiment with the idea of reusing the effort inve...
The requirement to change scale frequently is common to many 2D and 3D applications. Users must “zoom in” to examine details and “zoom out” to appreciate the context. This...
