Accurately and efficiently estimating the number of distinct values for some attribute(s) or sets of attributes in a data set is of critical importance to many database operation...
Standard but ad hoc measures such as sum-of-squared pixel differences (SSD) are often used when comparing and registering two images that have not been previously observed before....
Conventional mutual information (MI)-based registration using pixel intensities is time-consuming and ignores spatial information, which can lead to misalignment. We propose a met...
Given a region qR and a future timestamp qT, a "range aggregate" query estimates the number of objects expected to appear in qR at time qT. Currently the only methods fo...
We investigate the properties of a metric between two distributions, the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD), for content-based image retrieval. The EMD is based on the minimal cost ...
