โฆ Synopsis
The signature file method is a popular indexing technique used in information retrieval and databases. It excels in efficient index maintenance and lower space overhead. However, it suffers from inefficiency in query processing due to the fact that for each query processed the entire signature file needs to be scanned. In this paper, we introduce a tree structure, called a signature tree, established over a signature file, which can be used to expedite the signature file scanning by one order of magnitude or more.

This article considers the effectiveness of using a signature tree to further accelerate text searching beyond the-efficiency gained by the use of signatures alone. It briefly reviews how signatures improve the performance of text searching and then it introduces signature trees. An experiment to te
Significant research has focused on determining efficient methodologies for effective and speedy retrieval in large image databases. Towards that goal, the first contribution of this paper is an image abstraction technique, called variable-bin allocation (VBA), based on signature bitstrings and a co
