Abstract

In this paper, we propose an efficient high-dimensional index structure using cell signatures for similarity search in multimedia database applications. Our index structure partitions a high-dimensional feature space into a group of cells and represents a feature vector as its corresponding cell signature. By using cell signatures rather than real feature vectors, it is possible to reduce the height of our high-dimensional index structure, leading to efficient retrieval performance. In addition, we present a similarity search metric for efficiently pruning search spaces based on cell signatures. Finally, we compare the performance of our index structure with that of its competitor like the X-tree. It is shown from experimental results that our index structure is better on retrieval performance than the X-tree.
