We propose a compact, dimension-independent data structure for manifold, non-manifold and non-regular simplicial complexes, that we call the Generalized Indexed Data structure wit...
In this paper we explore the effectiveness of three clustering methods used to perform word image indexing. The three methods are: the Self-Organazing Map (SOM), the Growing Hiera...
Assessing the similarity among 3D shapes is a challenging research topic, and effective shape descriptions have to be devised in order to support the matching process. There is a ...
Many of the multimedia researchers have focused on the issue of the retrieval of images using indexed image collections. A number of spatial data structures based on Minimum Bound...
Many of the problems with native XML databases relate to query performance and subsequently, it can be difficult to convince traditional database users of the benefits of using se...
