Hardware acceleration is becoming increasingly critical for spatial databases, as their workloads are geometrically complex, dataintensive, and subject to growing real-time requirements. Building on our prior strong evidence that Ray Tracing (RT) …
Coincident satellite data refer to remote sensing observations fromdifferent platforms that capture the same geographic location withina short temporal window. Such data enable multi-modal and multi-view analysis—particularly for dynamic systems like …
Although spatial indexes shorten the query response time, they rely on complex tree structures to narrow down the search space. Such structures in turn yield additional storage overhead and take a toll on index maintenance. Recently, there have been …
Knowledge discovery from spatial data is essential for many important societal applications including crop monitoring, solar energy estimation, traffic prediction and public health. This paper aims to tackle a key challenge posed by spatial data – …
In the last decade, geospatial data which is extracted from GPS traces and satellites image has become ubiquitous. GeoVisual analytics, abbr. GeoViz, is the science of analytical reasoning assisted by geospatial map interfaces. GeoViz involves two …
In this paper, we demonstrate Tabula, a middleware that sits between the data system and the geospatial visualization dashboard to increase user interactivity. The proposed system adopts a sampling cube approach that stores prematerialized spatial …
