With the prevalence of multi-dimensional data such as images, content-based retrieval of data is becoming increasingly important. To handle multi-dimensional data, multi-dimensional index structures such as the R-tree, Rr-tree, TV-tree, and MVP-tree have been proposed. Numerous research results on how to effectively manipulate these structures have been presented during the last decade. Query processing strategies, which is important for reducing the processing time, is one such area of research. In this paper, we propose query processing algorithms for R-tree based structures. The novel aspect of these algorithms is that they make use of the notion of VP filtering, a concept borrowed from the MVP-tree. The filtering notion allows for delaying of computational overhead until absolutely necessary. By so doing, we attain considerable performance benefits while paying insignificant overhead during the construction of the index structure. We implemented our algorithms and carried out experiments to demonstrate the capability and usefulness of our method. Both for range query and incremental query, for all dimensional index trees, the response time using VP filtering was always shorter than without VP filtering. We quantitatively showed that VP filtering is closely related with the response time of the query.

So far, many researches have been done to index high-dimensional feature values for fast content-based image retrieval. Still, many existing indexing schemes are suffering from performance degradation due to the curse of dimensionality problem. As an alternative, heuristic algorithms have been proposed to calculate the result with 'high probability' at the cost of accuracy. In this paper, we propose a new extendible hash-based indexing scheme for high-dimensional feature values. Our indexing scheme provides several advantages compared to the traditional high-dimensional index structures in terms of search performance and accuracy preservation. Through extensive experiments, we show that our proposed indexing scheme achieves outstanding performance.

Recently, query processing techniques for the multi-dimensional data like images have been widely used to perform content-based retrieval of the data . Range query and Nearest neighbor query are widely used multi dimensional queries . This paper Proposes the efficient pruning strategies for k-nearest neighbor query in R-tree variants indexing structures. Pruning strategy is important for the multi-dimensional indexing query processing so that search space can be reduced. We analyzed the Pruning strategies and perform experiments to show overhead and the profit of the strategies. Finally, we propose best use of the strategies.

최근접 질의(nearest neighbor query)는 멀티미디어 데이터베이스에서 주어진 질의 객체와 가장 유사한 객체를 찾기 위한 매우 중요한 연산으로 사용된다. 대부분의 최근접 질의 처리 기법들은 객체의 효과적인 인덱싱을 위하여 다차원 인덱스(multidimensional index)를 사용한다. 그러나 N차원 시각형 혹은 원을 사용하여 객체 클러스터의 캡슐을 표현하는 기존의 다차원 인덱스들은 차원 수가 높아짐에 따라 검색 성능이 크게 떨어진다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하는 새로운 인덱스 구조를 제시하고, 이를 이용하는 최근접 질의 처리 방안을 제안한다. 또한, 다양한 실험에 의한 성능 평가를 통하여 제안된 기법의 우수성을 검증한다.

시공간 상에서 움직이는 물체의 이동경로는 일반적으로 MBR이 매우 크므로, R-tree 계열의 다차원 인덱싱 기법을 적용할 때 질의시 겹침 영역이 많이 발생하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 time slice에 따라 이동경로의 MBR을 나누어 별도의 인덱스에 저장하는 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법을 적용하면 MBR의 평균 크기가 줄어들어 인덱스 페이지 및 데이터 페이지 접근횟수를 감소시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 시간이 지나 질의가 매우 드물게 수행되는 데이터에 대한 엔트리를 삭제하여 검색 범위를 줄이는 것이 용이하다. 또한 본 논문에서는 질의 성능을 최적화하기 위해서 time slice를 어떻게 설계해야 하는지에 대해서도 논의한다.

MOLAP systems store data in a multidimensional away called a 'cube' and access them using way indexes. When a cube is placed into disk, it can be Partitioned into a set of chunks of the same side length. Such a cube storage scheme is called the chunk-based MOLAP cube storage scheme. It gives data clustering effect so that all the dimensions are guaranteed to get a fair chance in terms of the query processing speed. In order to achieve high space utilization, sparse chunks are further compressed. Due to data compression, the relative position of chunks cannot be obtained in constant time without using indexes. In this paper, we propose a bitmap index for chunk-based MOLAP cubes. The index can be constructed along with the corresponding cube generation. The relative position of chunks is retained in the index so that chunk retrieval can be done in constant time. We placed in an index block as many chunks as possible so that the number of index searches is minimized for OLAP operations such as range queries. We showed the proposed index is efficient by comparing it with multidimensional indexes such as UB-tree and grid file in terms of time and space.

There are many technically difficult issues in searching multimedia data such as image, video and audio because they are massive and more complex than simple text-based data. As a method of searching multimedia data, a similarity retrieval has been studied to retrieve automatically basic features of multimedia data and to make a search among data with retrieved features because exact match is not adaptable to a matrix of features of multimedia. In this paper, data clustering and its indexing are proposed as a speedy similarity-retrieval method of multimedia data. This approach clusters similar images on adjacent disk cylinders and then builds Indexes to access the clusters. To minimize the search cost, the hashing is adapted to index cluster. In addition, to reduce I/O time, the proposed searching takes just one I/O to look up the location of the cluster containing similar object and one sequential file I/O to read in this cluster. The proposed schema solves the problem of multi-dimension by using clustering and its indexing and has higher search efficiency than the content-based image retrieval that uses only clustering or indexing structure.

The nearest neighbor query is an important operation widely used in multimedia databases for finding the object that is most similar to a given object Most of techniques for processing nearest neighbor queries employ multidimensional indexes for effective indexing of objects. However, the performance of previous multidimensional indexes, which use N-dimensional rectangles or spheres for representing the capsule of the object cluster, deteriorates seriously as th number of dimensions gets higher, In this paper we first point out the fact that the simple representation of capsuler incurs performance degradation in processing nearest neighbor queries. For alleviating this problem,. we propose(1) adopting new axis systems appropriate to a given cluster (2) representing various shapes of capsules by combining rectangles and spheres, and (3) maintaining outliers separately, We also verify the superiority of our approach through performance evaluation by performing extensive experiments.
