Search operations in databases require special support at the physical level. This is true for
conventional databases as well as spatial databases, where typical search operations …

Vehicles equipped with GPS localizers are an important sensory device for examining
people's movements and activities. Taxis equipped with GPS localizers serve the …

Polygonal meshes are ubiquitous in the digital 3D domain, yet they have only played a
minor role in the deep learning revolution. Leading methods for learning generative models …

This well-accepted introduction to computational geometry is a textbook for high-level
undergraduate and low-level graduate courses. The focus is on algorithms and hence the …

Pattern recognition presents one of the most significant challenges for scientists and

In spatial query processing, the popular index R-tree may incur large storage consumption
and high IO cost. Inspired by the recent learned index [17] that replaces B-tree with machine …

Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate
synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of …

In this paper we consider the problem of computing the 3D shape of an unknown, arbitrarily-
shaped scene from multiple photographs taken at known but arbitrarily-distributed …
