A new access method, called M-tree, is proposed to organize and search large data sets from a generic "metric space", i.e. where object proximity is only defined by a di...
With the popularization of GPS-enabled devices there is an increasing interest for location-based queries. In this context, one interesting problem is processing top-k spatial key...
Spatial queries for extracting data from wireless sensor networks are important for many applications, such as environmental monitoring and military surveillance. One such query i...
Large-scale and dynamically changing distributed systems such as the Grid, peer-to-peer overlays, etc., need to collect several kinds of global statistics in a decentralized manne...
A new strategy is proposed for the design of cascaded object detectors of high detection-rate. The problem of jointly minimizing the false-positive rate and classification complex...
