For data sets indexed by R trees in spatial databases, three algorithms are presented for answering this kind of query. Among of them, two-phase Range+Join and Join+Range algorithms adopt the strategy that changes the execution order of range and closest pairs queries, and constrained heap-based algorithm utilizes extended distance functions to prune search space and minimize the pruning distance. Experimental results show that constrained heap-base algorithm has better applicability and performance than two-phase algorithms.展开更多

Especially for spatial information science, information can be acquired through many ways, such as man made planet, aeroplane, laser, digital photogrammetry and so on. Spatial data sources are usually distributed and heterogeneous. Federated database is the best resolution for the share and interoperation of spatial database. In this paper, the concepts of federated database and interoperability are introduced. Three heterogeneous kinds of spatial data, vector, image and DEM are used to create integrated database.

Clustering, in data mining, is a useful technique for discovering interesting data distributions and patterns in the underlying data, and has many application fields, such as statistical data analysis, pattern recognition, image processing, and other business applications. Although researchers have been working on clustering algorithms for decades, and a lot of algorithms for clustering have been developed, there is still no efficient algorithm for clustering very large databases and high dimensional data. As an outstanding representative of clustering algorithms, DBSCAN algorithm shows good performance in spatial data clustering. However, for large spatial databases, DBSCAN requires large volume of memory support and could incur substantial I/O costs because it operates directly on the entire database. In this paper, several approaches are proposed to scale DBSCAN algorithm to large spatial databases. To begin with, a fast DBSCAN algorithm is developed, which considerably speeds up the original DBSCAN algorithm. Then a sampling based DBSCAN algorithm, a partitioning-based DBSCAN algorithm, and a parallel DBSCAN algorithm are introduced consecutively. Following that, based on the above-proposed algorithms, a synthetic algorithm is also given. Finally, some experimental results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of these algorithms.展开更多

In spatial data mining, spatial parallel query are very expensive operations. A new parallel algorithm in terms of autocorrelation decision tree is presented. And the new method reduces CPU- and I/O-time and improves the query efficiency of spatial data. For dynamic load balancing, there are better control and optimization. Experimental performance comparison shows that the improved algorithm can obtain a optimal accelerator with the same quantities of processors. There are more completely accesses on nodes. And an individual implement of intelligent information retrieval for spatial data mining is presented.展开更多

Due to the nature of spatial queries, location-based service (LBS) needs the user position in order to process requests. On the other hand, revealing exact user locations to LBS may pinpoint their identities and breach their privacy. Spatial K-anonymity (SKA) exploits the concept of K-anonymity in order to protect the identity of users from location-based attacks. However, existing reciprocal methods rely on a specialized data structure. In contrast, a reciprocal algorithm was proposed using existing spatial index on the user locations. At the same time, an adjusted median splits algorithm was provided. Finally, according to effectiveness (i.e., anonymizing spatial region size) and efficiency (i.e., construction cost), the experimental results verify that the proposed methods have better performance. Moreover, since using employ general-purpose spatial indices, the proposed method supports conventional spatial queries as well.展开更多

In this paper, we propose the “movement purpose hypothesis” that each movement occurs from two causes: where the person is and what the person wants to do at a given moment. We formulate this hypothesis to a synthesis model in which two network graphs generate a movement network graph. Then we develop two novel-embedding models to assess the hypothesis, and demonstrate that the models obtain a vector representation of a geospatial area using movement patterns of people from large-scale smart card data. We conducted an experiment using smart card data for a large network of railroads in the Kansai region of Japan. We obtained a vector representation of each railroad station and each purpose using the developed embedding models. Results show that network embedding methods are suitable for a large-scale movement of data, and the developed models perform better than existing embedding methods in the task of multi-label classification for train stations on the purpose of use data set. Our proposed models can contribute to the prediction of people flows by discovering underlying representations of geospatial areas from mobility data.展开更多

It aimed at producing a queriable spatial database of secondary schools which could be used as a guide for resource distribution and management in the school system. The study adopted, survey, field observation and measurement using Global Positioning System (GPS) to obtain the needed data. Geographic Information System (GIS) and descriptive statistical techniques were employed to map, visualize and analyze the data. The result shows that the private sector has the highest contribution to secondary schools in the area. In the private sector, the private individuals have the highest contributions to secondary school in the area both by ownership, sponsorship and size (student population). The implication is that the system will suffer exploitation by the dominant private individuals in the system. It was recommended that further research should be conducted to assess the relationship between government efforts and other stakeholders on the spatial distribution of secondary schools in the study area.展开更多

This paper presents two efficient methods for this purpose: division transmission and progressive transmission methods. In division transmission method, a map can be divided into several parts, called “tiles”, and only tiles can be transmitted at the request of a client. In progressive transmission method, a map can be split into several phase views based on the significance of vertices, and a server produces a target object and then transmits it progressively when this spatial object is requested from a client. In order to achieve these methods, the algorithms, “tile division”, “priority order estimation” and the strategies for data transmission are proposed in this paper, respectively. Compared with such traditional methods as “map total transmission” and “layer transmission”, the web based GIS data transmission, proposed in this paper, is advantageous in the increase of the data transmission efficiency by a great margin.展开更多

However,few of them have considered both the dynamic environment and the issue of accuracy. In this paper,a new type of query is studied,called continuous median monitoring (CMM) query. It considers the k-median problem under dynamic environment with an accuracy guarantee. A continuous group nearest neighbor based (CGB) algorithm and an average distance medoid (ADM) algorithm are proposed to solve the CMM problem. ADM is a hill climbing schemed algorithm and achieves a rapid converging speed by checking only qualified candidates. Experiments show that ADM is more efficient than CGB and outperforms the classical PAM (partitioning around medoids) and CLARANS (clustering large applications based on randomized search) algorithms with various parameter settings.展开更多

In this light, we propose and investigate a novel problem of dynamically monitoring shortest paths in spatial networks (DSPM query). When a traveler aims to a des- tination, his/her shortest path to the destination may change due to two reasons: 1) the travel costs of some edges have been updated and 2) the traveler deviates from the pre-planned path. Our target is to accelerate the shortest path computing in dynamic spatial networks, and we believe that this study may be useful in many mobile applications, such as route planning and recommendation, car navigation and tracking, and location-based services in general. This problem is challenging due to two reasons: 1) how to maintain and reuse the existing computation results to accelerate the following computations, and 2) how to prune the search space effectively. To overcome these challenges, filter-and-refinement paradigm is adopted. We maintain an expansion tree and define a pair of upper and lower bounds to prune the search space. A series of optimization techniques are developed to accelerate the shortest path computing. The performance of the developed methods is studied in extensive experiments based on real spatial data.展开更多
