Spatial Indexing with a Scale Dimension
[chapter]
1999
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
By adding a scale dimension to the schema we make the index structure explicitly "aware" of the scale of a spatial object. ...
In our performance measurements on databases with up to 40 million spatial objects, the introduction of a scale dimension decreased I/O by up to 4 orders of magnitude. ...
With a scale dimension, the index structure itself is given the ability to consider only spatial objects that are sufficiently large-scale with respect to the query scale. ...

Derivation of Correlation Dimension from Spatial Autocorrelation Functions
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
However, if a spatial correlation is based on self-organized evolution, complex structure, and the distributions without characteristic scale, the eigenvalue will be ineffective. ...
Spatial autocorrelation coefficients such as Moran's index proved to be an eigenvalue of the spatial correlation matrixes. ...
As a matter of fact, the diagonals represent the self-correlation of spatial elements in a geographical system, e.g., city A with city A, city B with city B. ...

QUANTIFYING EFFECTS OF CHANGING SPATIAL SCALE ON SPATIAL ENTROPY INDEX: USE OF FRACTAL DIMENSION
2019
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
The result indicates that Spatial Entropy index shows a robust fractal feature, and it decreases as the spatial scale (or grain size) becomes lager in a moderate degree. ...
A recent development is Spatial Entropy index (Hs), and it has been validated as flexible and effective in landscape pattern analysis. ...
Slope a is then transformed into a fractal dimension measure, which indicates to what extent a certain landscape metric is sensitive to changes of the spatial scales. ...

Modeling Urban Growth and Form with Spatial Entropy
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
Thus, for a given spatial measurement scale, fractal dimension can often be replaced by entropy for simplicity. ...
Second, a series of indexes based on spatial entropy can be used to characterize urban form. Further, multifractal dimension spectrums can be generalized to spatial entropy spectrums. ...

Dimension 1 correlated with a thermal climate indicator value, a hygromorphs index, an abundance of steppe species and meadow species. ...
Dimension 2 correlated with a continental climate indicator value, carbonate content in the soil and the soil trophicity index (capacity of the soil for plant nutrition). ...
Along with other indicator values, the steppe plant and meadow plant canopy projection cover is the main important index to explain dimension 2. ...

Spatial analysis of cities using Renyi entropy and fractal parameters
2017
Chaos, Solitons & Fractals
This study indicates that fractal dimension and spatial entropy can be combined to produce a new methodology for spatial analysis of city development. ...
Based on this finding, a set of useful spatial indexes termed dummy multifractal parameters are defined for geographical analysis. ...
They are just multi-scale indexes of spatial structure bearing an analogy with multifractal parameters in fractal geometry. ...

Procedia Engineering
This article presents a new indexing overlay networks, named 2D-Ring, which is the ring topology based on gossip for 2-dimension spatial data. ...
In such way, the problem of 2-dimension spatial data indexing is converted to the problem of searching peers in the 2D-Ring. ...
First, we introduce a new algorithm based on gossip, which can construct a spatial data indexing overlay networks, named 2D-Ring. Second, we design a large-scale spatial information indexing method. ...

Complexity
The pattern, process, and mechanism of residential heterogeneity vary significantly with different geographical scales. ...
Taking Hangzhou city as an example, a multiscalar method was proposed based on the information entropy theory to estimate residential heterogeneity and its scale sensitivity. ...
Here, we use the information entropy index (H) and spatial information entropy index (H), combining with exposure isolation index (xPx) and spatial exposure isolation index (xPx), to assess the residential ...

Multimedia Storage and Archiving Systems III
In this paper, we introduce a new file structure called Spatial Grid File (SGF). This file structure enables to index multimedia objects by different and independent high-dimensional feature vectors. ...
Therefore, a multimedia information system must employ multiple search and indexing mechanisms due to integration of multiple search modalities such as querying for search and for indexing, keywords and ...
Each axis (dimension) of SGF is called linear scale, which is organized as an object class with its data and method parts. ...
