Finding similar strings is an important operation because textual data can have errors, duplications, and inconsistencies by nature. Many algorithms have been developed for string approximate searches and most of them make use of inverted lists to find similar strings. These algorithms basically perform merge operations on inverted lists. In this paper, we develop a bitmap representation of an inverted list and propose an efficient search algorithm that can skip unnecessary inverted lists without searching using bitmap filters. Experimental results show that the proposed technique consistently improve the performance of the search.

텍스트 데이터는 표현 방식의 차이, 타이핑 오류 등을 포함하고 있어 정확히 일치하는 검색으로는 유용한 정보를 얻기 어렵다. 따라서 유사도 기반 검색 방법이 많이 연구되고 있으며 효율적인 유사도 기반 검색을 위해 텍스트 데이터에 대한 역 리스트를 구성한다. 그리고 이를 병합하여 질의와 일정 기준 이상 유사한 데이터를 찾는다. 본 논문에서는 역 리스트 병합 과정에서 역 리스트의 탐색 비용을 줄이기 위해 비트맵 필터를 사용하는 기법을 제안한다. 비트맵 필터를 사용하여 역 리스트의 탐색 여부를 결정하여 불필요한 역 리스트 탐색을 회피함으로써 역 리스트 병합 비용을 줄인다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 기법이 기존의 연구에서 제안된 역 리스트 병합 알고리즘의 성능을 30~40% 정도 개선함을 보인다.

Recently, the filtering approach using vector approximation such as VA-file[1] or LPC-file[2] have been proposed to support similarity search in high dimensional data space. This approach filters out many irrelevant vectors by calculating the approximate distance from a query vector using the compact approximations of vectors in database. Accordingly, the total elapsed time for similarity search is reduced because the disk I/O time is eliminated by reading the compact approximations instead of original vectors. However, the search time of the VA-file or LPC-file is not much lessened compared to the brute-force search because it requires a lot of computations for calculating the approximate distance. This paper proposes a new bitmap index structure in order to minimize the calculating time. To improve the calculating speed, a specific value of an object is saved in a bit pattern that shows a spatial position of the feature vector on a data space, and the calculation for a distance between objects is performed by the XOR bit calculation that is much faster than the real vector calculation. According to the experiment, the method that this paper suggests has shortened the total searching time to the extent of about one fourth of the sequential searching time, and to the utmost two times of the existing methods by shortening the great deal of calculating time, although this method has a longer data reading time compared to the existing vector approximation based approach. Consequently, it can be confirmed that we can improve even more the searching performance by shortening the calculating time for filtering of the existing vector approximation methods when the database speed is fast enough.

In this paper, we propose a new pre-processing algorithm applied to depth map to improve the coding efficiency. Now, 3DV/FTV group in the MPEG is working for standard of 3DVC(3D video coding), but compression method for depth map images are not confirmed yet. In the proposed algorithm, after dividing the histogram distribution of a given depth map by EM clustering method based on GMM, we classify the depth map into several layered images. Then, we apply different mean shift filter to each classified image according to the existence of background or foreground in it. In other words, we try to maximize the coding efficiency while keeping the boundary of each object and taking average operation toward inner field of the boundary. The experiments are performed with many test images and the results show that the proposed algorithm achieves bits reduction of 19% ~ 20% and computation time is also reduced.

RFID events are large volume of stream data which come out continuously. Many studies have been done to detect a business event in RFID stream. However, the existing methods have many problems which increase unnecessary operations when business events do not satisfy minimum conditions. In this paper, to remove unnecessary operations, we define the minimum condition of business events and propose an efficient method that detects business events only when the minimum condition is satisfied. To check the minimum condition of business events, we register business queries in a query index. We detect business events using the query index and bitmap. It is shown through various experiment that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods.
