The k-nearest neighbor search query based on similarity is very important for content-based multimedia information retrieval(MIR). The conventional exact k-nearest neighbor search algorithm is not efficient for the MIR application because multimedia data should be represented as high dimensional feature vectors. Thus, an approximate k-nearest neighbor search algorithm is required for the MIR applications because the performance increase may outweigh the drawback of receiving approximate results. For this, we propose a new approximate k-nearest neighbor search algorithm for high dimensional data. In addition, the comparison of the conventional algorithm with our approximate k-nearest neighbor search algorithm is performed in terms of retrieval performance. Results show that our algorithm is more efficient than the conventional ones.

Spatial data base system provides many query types and most of them are required frequent disk I/O and much CPU time. k-NN search is to find k-th closest object from the query point and up to now, several k-NN search methods have been proposed. Among these, MINMAX distance method has an aim not to access unnecessary node by adapting pruning technique. But this method accesses more disks than necessary while pruning unnecessary nodes. In this paper, we propose new k-NN search algorithm based on density of object. With this method, we predict the radius to be expected to contain k-NN objects using density of data set and search those objects within this radius and then adjust radius if failed. Experimental results show that this method outperforms the previous MINMAX distance method. This algorithm visit less disks than MINMAX method by the factor of maximum 22% and average 7%.

With the growing popularity of smart devices, various location based services have been providing to users. Recently, some location based social applications that combine social services and location based services have been emerged. The demands of a k-nearest neighbors(k-NN) query which finds k closest locations from a user location are increased in the location based social network services. In this paper, we propose an approximate k-NN query processing method for fast response time in a large number of users environments. The proposed method performs efficient stream processing using big data distributed processing technologies. In this paper, we also propose a modified grid index method for indexing a large amount of location data. The proposed query processing method first retrieves the related cells by considering a user movement. By doing so, it can make an approximate k results set. In order to show the superiority of the proposed method, we conduct various performance evaluations with the existing method.

Recently, advances in mobile devices and wireless communication technologies require research on various location-based services. As a result, many studies on processing k-nearest neighbor query, which is most im portant one in location-based services, have been done. Most of existing studies use pre-computation technique to improve retrieval performance by computing network distance between POIs and nodes beforehand in spatial networks. However, they have a drawback that they can not deal with effectively the update of POIs to be searched. In this paper, we propose a distributed grid scheme using S-GRID to overcome the disadvantage of the existing work as well as to manage the location information of a large number of moving objects in efficient way. In addition, we describe a k-nearest neighbor(k-NN) query processing algorithm for the proposed distributed grid scheme. Finally, we show the efficiency of our distributed grid scheme by making a performance comparison between the k-NN query processing algorithm of our scheme and that of S-GRID.

최근접 질의 (NN: Nearest Neighbor Query)는 질의 요청자와 가장 가까운 곳에 위치한 대상 객체를 검색하기 위한 질의로서, 이 질의 방법을 실세계 이동 객체에 바로 적용하였을 경우, 실세계의 도로정보를 고려하지 않아 적절한 결과를 제공하지 못한다. 예를 들어, 사용자의 이동 방향과는 반대 방향에 위치한 객체가 질의 결과로 반환 될 경우, 사용자가 검색된 객체에 접근하기 위한 시간과 비용이 증가하는 문제가 발생한다. 또한 질의 객체와 대상 객체가 모두 이동할 경우에는 일정시점에서 질의한 결과는 조금만 시간이 지나면 유효하지 않게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 질의 객체와 데이터 객체가 모두 이동 객체인 경우에 적합하게 사용될 수 있도록 이동체의 궤적 정보를 방향정보 가중치로 환산한 근접 질의처리 방법을 제안한다.

Recently, k-nearest neighbors query methods based on wireless broadcasting environment are actively studied. The advantage of wireless broadcasting environment is the scalability that enables collective query processing for unspecified users connected to the server. However, in case existing k-NN query is applied in wireless broadcasting environment, there can be a disadvantage that backtracking may occur and consequently the query processing time is increasing. In this paper proposes a hierarchical bitmap-based spatial index in order to efficiently process the k-NN queries in wireless broadcasting environment. HBI reduces the bitmap size using such bitmap information and tree structure. As a result, reducing the broadcast cycle can reduce the client's tuning time and query processing time. In addition, since the locations of all the objects can be detected using bitmap information, it is possible to tune to necessary data selectively. For this paper, a test was conducted implementing HBI to k-NN query and the proposed technique was proved to be excellent by a performance evaluation.

The Pyramid-Technique is based on mapping n-dimensional space data into one-dimensional data and expresses it as a B+-tree. By solving the problem of search time complexity the pyramid technique also prevents the effect of "phenomenon of dimensional curse" which is caused by treatment of hypercube range query in n-dimensional data space. The SPY-TEC applies the space division strategy in pyramid method and uses spherical range query suitable for similarity search so that Improves the search performance. However, nearest neighbor query is more efficient than range query because it is difficult to specify range in similarity search. Previously proposed index methods perform well only in the specific distribution of data. In this paper, we propose an efficient searching technique for nearest neighbor object using PdR-Tree suggested to improve the search performance for high dimensional data such as multimedia data. Test results, which uses simulation data with various distribution as well as real data, demonstrate that PdR-Tree surpasses both the Pyramid-Technique and SPY-TEC in views of search performance.rformance.

우리는 그룹핑 k-최근접 (Grouping k Nearest Neighbor; GkNN)질의를 지원하기 위하여 유연한 최근접객체(Flexible Nearest Neighbor; FNN)검색 방법을 제안한다. GkNN이란 기존에 제안된 kNN과 다르게 질의자가 요청한 k개의 객체를 모두 확인한 후에 이동 경로의 총합이 가장 작은 k개의 객체를 검색하는 방법이다. 기존 연구에서 제안된 최근접 객체들 (Nearest Neighborhood; NNH) 또한 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 제안되었다. 그러나 NNH의 문제점은 객체 k와 p가 고정되어 있기 때문에 이동 환경에서 q에서 C까지의 거리가 증가하는 것이다. FNN의 환경은 NNH의 환경과 유사하다. 우리는 NNH의 q에서 집합 C 중 거리 중 가장 짧은 $c_i$ 선택한 후 q에서 $c_i$에 포함된 객체들 모두 검색하는 이동 경로의 총합과 FNN의 이동경로의 총 합을 비교하여 NNH의 문제점을 해결하였다.

Recently, due to the advanced technologies of mobile devices and wireless communication, there are many studies on telematics and LBS(location-based service) applications. because moving objects usually move on spatial networks, their locations are updated frequently, leading to the degradation of retrieval performance. To manage the frequent updates of moving objects' locations in an efficient way, a new distributed grid scheme, called DS-GRID (distributed S-GRID), and k-NN(k-nearest neighbor) query processing algorithm was proposed[1]. However, the result of k-NN query processing technique may be invalidated as the location of query and moving objects are changed. Therefore, it is necessary to study on continuous k-NN query processing algorithm. In this paper, we propose both MCE-CKNN and MBP(Monitoring in Border Point)-CKNN algorithmss are S-GRID. The MCE-CKNN algorithm splits a query route into sub-routes based on cell and seproves retrieval performance by processing query in parallel way by. In addition, the MBP-CKNN algorithm stores POIs from the border points of each grid cells and seproves retrieval performance by decreasing the number of accesses to the adjacent cells. Finally, it is shown from the performance analysis that our CKNN algorithms achieves 15-53% better retrieval performance than the Kolahdouzan's algorithm.

지금까지 질의 점을 중심으로 최근접 객체(Nearest Neighbor : NN)를 찾는 다양한 연구가 진행되었다. 하지만 이 방법은 질의 점과 객체의 거리만을 고려하기 때문에 질의 점을 둘러싸고 있는 객체들을 찾을 수 없다는 문제점이 있다. 이것을 해결하기 위해서 제안 된 것이 최근접 주변객체(Nearest Surrounder : NS) 질의 처리이다. 최근접 주변 객체는 질의 점을 둘러싸고 있으면서 가장 가까운 객체들을 찾는 것에 대한 연구이다. 기존의 NS를 찾는 방법은 객체 인덱싱을 위하여 R-tree를 사용하며, 질의 점과 최소경계사각형(minimum bounding rectangle : MBR)이 이루는 각의 범위를 계산한다. 계산 수행 결과 각 MBR들 이 이루는 각의 범위가 겹치는 부분이 발생하면 해당 각 범위 내에서 질의 점으로부터 최소거리에 있는 MBR을 선택해야 하므로 범위별 질의 점과 MBR들의 최대 최소 거리를 구해야 한다. 이러한 범위별 계산 과정은 계산 비용을 높이는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 NS를 필요로 하는 영역에서 각 범위별 겹쳐지는 MBR들의 꼭지점 좌표만을 비교한다. 이것은 기존 연구에서 계산 비용을 높이는 공통 각 계산 절차를 개선하고, 최대 최소 거리 계산 수행은 생략하여 NS를 찾는다. 제안 기법을 위해 논문에서 사용하는 각 알고리즘은 이전 연구보다 나은 계산비용 절감 효과를 가져 올 수 있다.
