In this paper, we present an index structure-based method to fast and robustly search short video clips in large video collections. First we temporally segment a given long video ...
We propose the mqr-tree, a two-dimensional spatial access method that improves upon the 2DR-tree. The 2DRtree uses two-dimensional nodes so that the relationships between all obje...
Research in modeling and querying spatial data has primarily focused on traditional "crisp" spatial objects with exact location and spatial extent. More recent work, how...
