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.

Due to the recent advancement of cloud computing, the research on database outsourcing has been actively done. Moreover, the number of users who utilize Location-based Services(LBS) has been increasing with the development in w ireless communication technology and mobile devices. Therefore, LBS providers attempt to outsource their spatial database to service provider, in order to reduce costs for data storage and management. However, because unauthorized access to sensitive data is possible in spatial database outsourcing, it is necessary to study on the preservation of a user's privacy. Thus, we, in this paper, propose a spatial data encryption scheme to produce outsourced database from an original database. We also propose a k-Nearest Neighbor(k-NN) query processing algorithm that efficiently performs k-NN by using the outsourced database. Finally, we show from performance analysis that our algorithm outperforms the existing one.

MapReduce provides high levels of system scalability and fault tolerance for large-size data processing. A MapReduce-based k-nearest-neighbor(k-NN) join algorithm seeks to produce the k nearest-neighbors of each point of a dataset from another dataset. The algorithm has been considered important in bigdata analysis. However, the existing k-NN join query-processing algorithm suffers from a high index-construction cost that makes it unsuitable for the processing of bigdata. To solve the corresponding problems, we propose a new grid-based, k-NN join query-processing algorithm. Our algorithm retrieves only the neighboring data from a query cell and sends them to each MapReduce task, making it possible to improve the overhead data transmission and computation. Our performance analysis shows that our algorithm outperforms the existing scheme by up to seven-fold in terms of the query-processing time, while also achieving high extent of query-result accuracy.

This paper presents a searching method of corresponding points robust to rotational error for scan-matching used for SLAM(Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) in mobile robot. A differential driving mechanism is one of the most popular type for mobile robot. For driving curved path, this type controls the velocities of each two wheels independently. This case increases a wheel slip of the mobile robot more than the case of straight path driving. And this is the reason of a drifting problem. To handle this problem and improves the performance of scan-matching, this paper proposes a searching method of corresponding points using extraction of a closest point based on rotational radius of the mobile robot. To verify the proposed method, the experiment was conducted using LRF(Laser Range Finder). Then the proposed method is compared with an existing method, which is an existing method based on euclidian closest point. The result of our study reflects that the proposed method can improve the performance of searching corresponding points.

최근 대용량 데이터에 대한 효율적인 데이터 분석 기법이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 대표적인 기법으로는 맵리듀스 환경에서 보로노이 다이어그램을 이용한 k 최근접점 조인(VkNN-join) 알고리즘이 존재한다. VkNN-join 알고리즘은 부분집합 Ri에 연관된 부분집합 Sj만을 후보탐색 영역으로 선정하여 질의를 처리하기 때문에 질의처리 시간을 감소시킨다. 그러나 VkNN-join은 색인 구축 비용이 높으며, kNN 연산 오버헤드가 큰 문제점이 존재한다. 이를 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 대용량 데이터 분석을 위한 맵리듀스 기반 kNN join 질의처리 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 시드 기반의 동적 분할을 통해 색인구조 구축비용을 감소시킨다. 또한 시드 간 평균 거리를 기반으로 후보 영역을 선정함으로써, 연산 오버헤드를 감소시킨다. 아울러, 성능 평가를 통해 제안하는 기법이 질의처리 시간 측면에서 기존 기법에 비해 우수함을 나타낸다.

Recently, the amount of data is rapidly increasing with the popularity of the SNS and the development of mobile technology. So, it has been actively studied for the effective data analysis schemes of the large amounts of data. One of the typical schemes is a Voronoi diagram based on kNN join algorithm (VkNN-join) using MapReduce. For two datasets R and S, VkNN-join can reduce the time of the join query processing involving big data because it selects the corresponding subset Sj for each Ri and processes the query with them. However, VkNN-join requires a high computational cost for constructing the Voronoi diagram. Moreover, the computational overhead of the VkNN-join is high because the number of the candidate cells increases as the value of the k increases. In order to solve these problems, we propose a MapReduce-based kNN-join query processing algorithm for analyzing the large amounts of data. Using the seed-based dynamic partitioning, our algorithm can reduce the overhead for constructing the index structure. Also, it can reduce the computational overhead to find the candidate partitions by selecting corresponding partitions with the average distance between two seeds. We show that our algorithm has better performance than the existing scheme in terms of the query processing time.
