Spatially-aware Information Retrieval on the Internet Report on Spatial Indexing Methods
نویسنده
چکیده
The design of efficient indexing structures is central to the performances of very large databases such as the web collections. Within the SPIRIT framework the challenge is to adapt ideas from the well-researched topics of text based information retrieval and geographical information systems for a spatially aware search engine. This document reports on the existing methods for both these areas and proposes a hybrid scheme for indexing and retrieving text documents.

The design and implementation of SPIRIT: a spatially aware search engine for information retrieval on the Internet
Much of the information stored on the web contains geographical context, but current search engines treat such context in the same way as all other content. In this paper the design, implementation and evaluation of a spatially-aware search engine are described which is capable of handling queries in the form of the triplet of . The process of identifying ...
متن کاملContent Based Radiographic Images Indexing and Retrieval Using Pattern Orientation Histogram
Introduction: Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is a method of image searching and retrieval in a database. In medical applications, CBIR is a tool used by physicians to compare the previous and current medical images associated with patients pathological conditions. As the volume of pictorial information stored in medical image databases is in progress, efficient image indexing and retri...
متن کاملSpatially-Aware Information Retrieval with Graph-Based Qualitative Reference Models
Geo-referenced information is used by a growing number of “spatially-aware” tools in different application areas, including tourism, marketing, environmental management, and mobile location based services. To support such applications, methods for “spatially-aware” information retrieval that do not only consider the thematic, but also the spatial relevance of information items are needed. In ad...
متن کاملSpatially - Aware Information Retrieval on the Internet
This document presents the methods that will be used to locate (within the SPIRIT terabyte collection) relevant documents for the queries to be used in any testing of the retrieval system. The means of locating relevant documents within test collections is commonly perceived to be a time consuming process, however the work presented here shows that a “reasonable” test collection can be formed w...
متن کاملSpatially - Aware Information Retrieval on the Internet
In this report, we describe a practical relevance ranking procedure, as it is implemented and integrated in the interim prototype of the SPIRIT search engine. We review the theoretical models and ideas presented in the previous three deliverables of WP5, and state the practical decisions and refinements made during implementation. Possible improvements are identified which will lead to an advan...
