Tóm tắt

We propose a k-NN query processing algorithm that uses one or more window queries to retrieve the nearest neighbors of a given query point. We also propose two different methods to estimate the ranges to be used by the window queries. Each range estimation method requires different statistical knowledge about the spatial databases. Our experiments on the TIGER data allow us to study the behavior of the proposed algorithm using different range estimation methods. Apart from not requiring direct access to the spatial indices, the window queries used in the proposed algorithm can be easily supported by non-spatial database systems containing spatial objects.
