Although conventional index structures provide various nearest-neighbor search algorithms for high-dimensional data, there are additional requirements to increase search performances as well as to support index scalability for large scale data. To support these requirements, we propose a distributed high-dimensional indexing structure based on cluster systems, called a Distributed Vector Approximation-tree (DVA-tree), which is a two-level structure consisting of a hybrid spill-tree and VA-files. We also describe the algorithms used for constructing the DVA-tree over multiple machines and performing distributed k-nearest neighbors (NN) searches. To evaluate the performance of the DVA-tree, we conduct an experimental study using both real and synthetic datasets. The results show that our proposed method contributes to significant performance advantages over existing index structures on difference kinds of datasets.

Recently, location-based services which provides k nearest POIs, e.g., gas stations, restaurants and banks, are essential such applications as telematics, ITS(Intelligent Transport Systems) and kiosk. For this, the Voronoi Diagram k-NN(Nearest Neighbor) search algorithm has been proposed. It retrieves k-NNs by using a file storing pre-computed network distances of POIs in Voronoi diagram. However, this algorithm causes the cost problem when expanding a Voronoi diagram. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an algorithm which generates a matrix of the shortest distance between border points of a Voronoi diagram. The shortest distance is measured each border point to all of the rest border points of a Voronoi Diagram. To retrieve desired k nearest POIs, we also propose a k-NN search algorithm using the matrix of the shortest distance. The proposed algorithms can m inim ize the cost of expanding the Voronoi diagram by accessing the pre-computed matrix of the shortest distances between border points. In addition, we show that the proposed algorithm has better performance in terms of retrieval time, compared with existing works.

최근 무선 통신 기술의 발달 및 모바일 기기의 발달로 인하여 위치 기반 서비스가 주목을 받고 있다. 그러나 사용자의 정확한 위치정보를 통해 LBS 서버에 질의를 요청하는 것은 심각한 개인 정보 누출의 위협이 될 수 있기 때문에, 사용자 정보 보호를 위해 도로 네트워크를 고려하여 질의영역을 생성하는 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔다. 따라서 질의영역에 대한 효율적인 질의 처리 방법이 요구된다. 이를 위해, 본 논문에서는 도로 네트워크에서 사용자 정보 보호를 지원하는 질의영역에 대한 k최근접점 질의 처리 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 POI를 효율적으로 검색하기 위하여 Island 인덱스를 사용한다. 또한, 본 논문은 질의 처리 성능을 향상시키기 위해 적응적 Island 인덱스를 생성하는 방법을 제안한다. 마지막으로, 성능평가를 통해 제안하는 기법이 기존 기법들에 비해 네트워크 확장 비용 및 서비스 시간 측면에서 우수함을 보인다.

This paper explores the possibility of describing objects from the change in the shape according to the change in viewpoint. Specifically, we sample the shapes from various viewpoints of a 3-D model, and apply dimension reduction by locally linear embedding. A low dimensional distribution of points are constructed, and characteristics of the object are described from this distribution. Also, we propose two 3-D retrieval methods by applying the iterative closest point algorithm, and by applying Fourier transform and measuring similarity by modified Housdorff distance, and present experimental results. The proposed method shows that the change of shape according to the change in viewpoint can describe the characteristics of an object.
