In content based image retrieval, the success of any distance-based indexing scheme depends critically on the quality of the chosen distance metric. We propose in this paper a ker...
There is a wide range of applications for which surface interpolation or approximation from scattered data points in space is important. Dependent on the field of application and...
In this paper, we study the problem of L1-fitting a shape to a set of point, where the target is to minimize the sum of distances of the points to the shape, or alternatively the...
There has been much recent interest in adapting data mining algorithms to time series databases. Most of these algorithms need to compare time series. Typically some variation of ...
In this paper, we review a recently developed class of algorithms that solve global problems in unit distance wireless networks by means of local algorithms. A local algorithm is ...
