    • Compact and indexed representation for LiDAR point clouds 

      Ladra, Susana; Rodríguez Luaces, Miguel; Paramá, José R.; Silva-Coira, Fernando (Taylor & Francis, 2022)
      [Abstract]: LiDAR devices are capable of acquiring clouds of 3D points reflecting any object around them, and adding additional attributes to each point such as color, position, time, etc. LiDAR datasets are usually large, ...
    • Compressed Data Structures for Binary Relations in Practice 

      Quijada Fuentes, Carlos; Penabad, Miguel R.; Ladra, Susana; Gutiérrez Retamal, Gilberto (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020-01-31)
      [Abstract] Binary relations are commonly used in Computer Science for modeling data. In addition to classical representations using matrices or lists, some compressed data structures have recently been proposed to represent ...
