In many database applications involving string data, it is common to have near neighbor queries (asking for strings that are similar to a query string) or nearest neighbor queries...
In this paper, we propose a novel explicit 2D+t cyclic shape model that extends the Point Distribution Model (PDM) to shapes like myocardial contours with cyclic dynamics. We also ...
We consider the problem of extracting a river network and a watershed hierarchy from a terrain given as a set of irregularly spaced points. We describe TerraStream, a "pipeli...
Spatial co-location patterns represent the subsets of events whose instances are frequently located together in geographic space. We identified the computational bottleneck in the...
The management of moving objects has been intensively studied in the recent years. A wide and increasing range of database applications has to deal with spatial objects whose posi...
