Approximate isocontours and spatial summaries for sensor networks
We consider the problem of approximating a family of isocontours in a sensor field with a topologically-equivalent family of simple polygons. Our algorithm is simple and distribu...

Searching in metric spaces by spatial approximation
We propose a new data structure to search in metric spaces. A metric space is formed by a collection of objects and a distance function de ned among them, which satis es the trian...

Approximate Processing of Multiway Spatial Joins in Very Large Databases
Existing work on multiway spatial joins focuses on the retrieval of all exact solutions with no time limit for query processing. Depending on the query and data properties, however...

Hierarchical Tensor Approximation of Multidimensional Images
Visual data comprises of multi-scale and inhomogeneous signals. In this paper, we exploit these characteristics and develop an adaptive data approximation technique based on a hie...

Using pair approximations to predict takeover dynamics in spatially structured populations
The topological properties of a network directly impact the flow of information through a system. For example, in natural populations, the network of inter-individual contacts aff...
