pre-aggregates: independent, overlapped, and dominant. We showed that such a distinction<br />

is useful <strong>to</strong> find a set of pre-aggregated queries that can reduce CPU cost for<br />

query computation. We proposed a cost-model <strong>to</strong> calculate the cost of using different<br />

pre-aggregates and select the best option for evaluating a query using pre-aggregated<br />

data. The measurements on real-life raster images showed that the computation of<br />

the queries is always faster with our algorithms compared <strong>to</strong> straightforward methods.<br />

We focused on queries using basic aggregate functions covering a large number of<br />

operations in GIS and remote-sensing imaging applications. The challenge remains,<br />

however, in supporting more complex aggregate operations, e.g., scaling, which is<br />

discussed in the following chapter.
