  Abstract

In spatial database systems, the nearest neighbor query occurs frequently and requires the processing cost higher than other spatial queries do. The number of nodes to be searched in the index can be minimized for optimizing the cost of processing the nearest neighbor query. The optimal search distance is proposed for the measurement of a search distance to accurately select the nodes which will be searched in the nearest neighbor query. In this paper, we prove properties of the optimal search distance in N-dimensional. We show through experiments that the performance of query processing of our method is superior the other method using maximum search distance.
