Abstract. Biometric identification has emerged as a reliable means of controlling access to both physical and virtual spaces. In spite of the rapid proliferation of large-scale dat...
In this paper, we propose the Pyramid-Technique, a new indexing method for high-dimensional data spaces. The PyramidTechnique is highly adapted to range query processing using the...
The effectiveness of many existing high-dimensional indexing structures is limited to specific types of queries and workloads. For example, while the Pyramid technique and the iMi...
Matching local features across images is often useful when comparing or recognizing objects or scenes, and efficient techniques for obtaining image-to-image correspondences have b...
Multi-resolution techniques have been used in a wide range of vision applications. Unfortunately, the costly operation of building a proper pyramid strongly reduces its value as a...
