Although available extensible indexing frameworks provide a gateway for seamless integration of spatial access methods into the standard process of query optimization and execution, they do not facilitate the actual implementation of the spatial access method itself. An internal enhancement of the database kernel is usually not an option for database developers. The embedding of a custom block-oriented index structure into concurrency control, recovery services and buffer management would cause extensive implementation efforts and maintenance cost, at the risk of weakening the reliability of the entire system. The server stability can be preserved by delegating index operations to an external process, but this approach induces severe performance bottlenecks due to context switches and inter-process communication. Therefore, we present the paradigm of object-relational spatial access methods that perfectly fits to the common relational data model and is highly compatible with the extensible indexing frameworks of existing object-relational database systems allowing the user to define application-specific access methods.","PeriodicalId":189216,"journal":{"name":"Spatial Databases","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130637919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Examples of this type of problem include weather prediction, flood prediction, network traffic flow, and so forth. In this chapter we provide an overview of this problem, highlighting the principles and issues that come to play in spatio-temporal prediction problems. We describe some recent work in the area of flood prediction to illustrate the use of sophisticated data mining techniques that have been examined as possible solutions. We argue the need for further data mining research to attack this difficult problem. This chapter is directed toward professionals and researchers who may wish to engage in spatio-temporal prediction.","PeriodicalId":189216,"journal":{"name":"Spatial Databases","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132618631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A quadtree is a spatial data structure built by a recursive decomposition of space into quadrants. Applied to images, it allows representing image content, compacting or compressing image information, and querying images. For thirteen years, numerous image-based approaches have used this structure. In this chapter, the authors want to underline the contribution of quadtree in image applications.","PeriodicalId":189216,"journal":{"name":"Spatial Databases","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126638692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
