Nearest neighbor (NN) problem is an important scientific problem. The NN query, to find the closest one to a given query point among a set of points, is widely used in applications such as density estimation, pattern classification,…

Nearest neighbor (NN) queries in trajectory databases have received significant attention in the past, due to their application in spatio-temporal data analysis. Recent work has considered the realistic case where the trajectories are…

Traditional route planning and k nearest neighbors queries only consider distance or travel time and ignore road safety altogether. However, many travellers prefer to avoid risky or unpleasant road conditions such as roads with high crime…

k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) search is a fundamental primitive in geometry processing and computer graphics. While spatial partitioning structures such as kd-trees are standard, they are often manifold-blind, failing to exploit the intrinsic…

In this paper, we propose to compute Voronoi diagrams over mesh surfaces driven by an arbitrary geodesic distance solver, assuming that the input is a triangle mesh as well as a collection of sites $P=\{p_i\}_{i=1}^m$ on the surface. We…

We revisit the moving k nearest neighbor (MkNN) query, which computes one's k nearest neighbor set and maintains it while at move. Existing MkNN algorithms are mostly safe region based, which lack efficiency due to either computing small…

Let $P$ be a planar set of $n$ sites in general position. For $k\in\{1,\dots,n-1\}$, the Voronoi diagram of order $k$ for $P$ is obtained by subdividing the plane into cells such that points in the same cell have the same set of nearest $k$…

Approximate nearest neighbor search (ANNS) in high-dimensional spaces is a pivotal challenge in the field of machine learning. In recent years, graph-based methods have emerged as the superior approach to ANNS, establishing a new state of…

Nearest-neighbor search, which returns the nearest neighbor of a query point in a set of points, is an important and widely studied problem in many fields, and it has wide range of applications. In many of them, such as sensor databases,…

Given a collection of points in R^3, KD-Tree and R-Tree are well-known nearest neighbor search (NNS) algorithms that rely on space partitioning and spatial indexing techniques. However, when the query point is far from the data points or…

The Reverse $k$-Nearest Neighbor (R$k$NN) query over moving objects on road networks seeks to find all moving objects that consider the specified query point as one of their $k$ nearest neighbors. In location based services, many users…

In this article, we propose a new fast nearest neighbor search algorithm, based on vector quantization. Like many other branch and bound search algorithms [1,10], a preprocessing recursively partitions the data set into disjointed subsets…

We propose a self-improving algorithm for computing Voronoi diagrams under a given convex distance function with constant description complexity. The $n$ input points are drawn from a hidden mixture of product distributions; we are only…

In the Hausdorff Voronoi diagram of a set of clusters of points in the plane, the distance between a point t and a cluster P is the maximum Euclidean distance between t and a point in P. This diagram has direct applications in VLSI design.…

Querying uncertain data sets (represented as probability distributions) presents many challenges due to the large amount of data involved and the difficulties comparing uncertainty between distributions. The Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) has…

We are interested in the problem of finding $k$ nearest neighbours in the plane and in the presence of polygonal obstacles ($\textit{OkNN}$). Widely used algorithms for OkNN are based on incremental visibility graphs, which means they…

We describe a new algorithm for computing the Voronoi diagram of a set of $n$ points in constant-dimensional Euclidean space. The running time of our algorithm is $O(f \log n \log \Delta)$ where $f$ is the output complexity of the Voronoi…

Probabilistic graphic model is an elegant framework to compactly present complex real-world observations by modeling uncertainty and logical flow (conditionally independent factors). In this paper, we present a probabilistic framework of…

The area query, to find all elements contained in a specified area from a certain set of spatial objects, is a very important spatial query widely required in various fields. A number of approaches have been proposed to implement this…

A k nearest neighbor (kNN) query on road networks retrieves the k closest points of interest (POIs) by their network distances from a given location. Today, in the era of ubiquitous mobile computing, this is a highly pertinent query. While…
