Abstract--Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a problemsolving technique that was inspired by the related research on the behavior of real-world ant colony. In the domain of Network-o...
Existing autocalibration techniques use numerical optimization algorithms that are prone to the problem of local minima. To address this problem, we have developed a method where ...
Most image retrieval systems perform a linear search over the database to find the closest match to a query. However, databases usually exhibit a natural grouping structure into c...
This paper proposes and evaluates Prefetching B+ -Trees pB+ -Trees, which use prefetching to accelerate two important operations on B+ -Tree indices: searches and range scans. To ...
It is well known that high-dimensional nearest-neighbor retrieval is very expensive. Many signal processing methods suffer from this computing cost. Dramatic performance gains can...
