Abstract. Accurate selectivity estimations are essential for query optimization decisions where they are typically derived from various kinds of histograms which condense value dis...
The dual-tree wavelet transform is here applied to the problem of fractal dimension estimation. The Hurst parameter of fractional Brownian surfaces is estimated using various wave...
Many database applications have the emerging need to support fuzzy queries that ask for strings that are similar to a given string, such as “name similar to smith” and “tele...
The performances of many image analysis tasks depend on the image resolution at which they are applied. Traditionally, resolution selection methods rely on spatial derivatives of i...
