چکیده

In this paper, we present algorithms for the top-k nearest neighbor searching where the input points are exact and the query point is uncertain under the L1 metric in the plane. The uncertain query point is represented by a discrete probability distribution function, and the goal is to efficiently return the top-k expected nearest neighbors, which have the smallest expected distances to the query point. Given a set of n exact points in the plane, we build an O(n logn log log n)-size data structure in O(n logn log logn) time, such that for any uncertain query point with m possible locations and any integer k with 1 ≤ k ≤ n, the top-k expected nearest neighbors can be found in O(m logm + (k + m) log n) time. Even for the special case where k = 1, our result is better than the previously best method (in PODS 2012), which requires O(n log n) preprocessing time, O(n log n) space, and O(m log n) query time. In addition, for the one-dimensional version of this problem, our approach can build an O(n)-size data structure in O(n logn) time that can support O(min{k, logm} ·m+ k+ log n) time queries and the query time can be reduced to O(k+m+ logn) time if the locations of Q are given sorted. In fact, the problem is equivalent to the aggregate or group nearest neighbor searching with the weighted Sum as the aggregate distance function operator.

Reverse k-Nearest Neighbor Search Based on Aggregate Point Access Methods

We propose an original solution for the general reverse k-nearest neighbor (RkNN) search problem in Euclidean spaces. Compared to the limitations of existing methods for the RkNN search, our approach works on top of MultiResolution Aggregate (MRA) versions of any index structures for multi-dimensional feature spaces where each non-leaf node is additionally associated with aggregate information ...

All Farthest Neighbors in the Presence of Highways and Obstacles

We consider the problem of computing all farthest neighbors (and the diameter) of a given set of n points in the presence of highways and obstacles in the plane. When traveling on the plane, travelers may use highways for faster movement and must avoid all obstacles. We present an efficient solution to this problem based on knowledge from earlier research on shortest path computation. Our algor...

L_1 Geodesic Farthest Neighbors in a Simple Polygon and Related Problems

In this paper, we investigate the L1 geodesic farthest neighbors in a simple polygon P , and address several fundamental problems related to farthest neighbors. Given a subset S ⊆ P , an L1 geodesic farthest neighbor of p ∈ P from S is one that maximizes the length of L1 shortest path from p in P . Our list of problems include: computing the diameter, radius, center, farthestneighbor Voronoi di...
