We introduce a new model for semantic annotation and retrieval from image databases. The new model is based on a probabilistic formulation that poses annotation and retrieval as c...

Images taken from scenes under water suffer distortion due to refraction. While refraction causes magnification with mild distortion on the observed images, severe distortions in...
Materialized views can provide massive improvements in query processing time, especially for aggregation queries over large tables. To realize this potential, the query optimizer ...
A fundamental problem in XML query processing is tree pattern query (TPQ) matching which computes all data instances in an XML database that match an input TPQ. There is a lot of r...
