Adapting the Transformation Technique to Maintain Multi-Dimensional Non-Point Objects in k-d-Tree Based Access Structures
نویسنده
چکیده
In [10, 18] the transformation technique has been proposed to store k-dimensional intervals { which serve as bounding boxes for arbitrary geometric objects in many applications { as 2k-dimensional points in a point access structure. Unfortunately the transformation technique has two pitfalls: (1) The transformation leads to a skew distribution of the 2k-dimensional image points. (2) Processing a range query searching all objects intersecting a given query region, there is a mismatch between the k-dimensional query region and the 2k-dimensional access structure. In this paper we propose two techniques to overcome these problems which can be directly applied to k-d-tree based point access structures: (1) We present a sophisticated split strategy to determine the split dimension and the split position in case of a bucket split which exploits the knowledge about the distribution of the image points of the transformation technique to gain an extremely exible and robust access structure. (2) We propose a re-transformation of the 2k-dimensional data regions in the access structure into the original k-dimensional data space in order to compare these regions with the k-dimensional query region. Furthermore we state experimental results, which demonstrate, that the presented techniques allow to maintain k-dimensional non-point objects with nearly the same performance as k-dimensional point objects.

mqr-tree: A 2-dimensional Spatial Access Method
In this paper, we propose the mqr-tree, a two-dimensional spatial access method that organizes spatial objects in a two-dimensional node and based on their spatial relationships. Previously proposed spatial access methods that attempt to maintain spatial relationships between objects in their structures are limited in their incorporation of existing one-dimensional spatial access methods, or ha...

It is conventional to use multi-dimensional indexing structures to accelerate search operations in content-based image retrieval systems. Many efforts have been done in order to develop multi-dimensional indexing structures so far. In most practical applications of image retrieval, high-dimensional feature vectors are required, but current multi-dimensional indexing structures lose their effici...

Many applications require data base systems with the capability to manage large amounts of data and to answer complex queries, especially those with several attributes, such as range queries and more particularly, spatial and temporal queries. Consequently, new access methods, with good performance for these types of operations associated with medium-high dimensionality, are needed. From this p...
