Moving View Field Nearest Neighbor Queries

초록/요약

In this thesis, we introduce a new type of moving nearest neighbor query expanding the view field nearest neighbor query. The query, named moving view field nearest neighbor (MVFNN), finds the nearest object in the query's view field continuously with the consideration of changes of the query's location and view field. To improve the query processing efficiency, we introduce a novel notion of two-way safe boundaries. The two-way safe boundaries consist of (1) geographical safe boundary and (2) angular safe boundary. Although a query has moved and view field of the query has changed, the re-computation of the query is not necessary if the query's new location is located in the geographical safe boundary and the query's view field is included within the angular safe boundary. Then, we propose an efficient MVFNN query processing method using two-way safe boundaries. The performance of our proposed MVFNN query processing method is evaluated by conducting a series of simulations.
