Monochromatic and bichromatic reverse top-k group nearest neighbor queries

作者:

Highlights:

• We formalize and solve the monochromatic and bichromatic RkGNN problem.

• We propose an algorithm to efficiently compute RkGNN queries.

• Some effective pruning methods are proposed to reduce the overhead of RkGNN processing.

• Our algorithm is several orders of magnitude faster than linear scan algorithm.
