Spatial database operations are typically performed in two steps. In the filtering step, indexes and the minimum bounding rectangles (MBRs) of the objects are used to quickly dete...
—Existing methods for spatial joins require pre-existing spatial indices or other precomputation, but such approaches are inefficient and limited in generality. Operand data sets...
Relational index structures, as for instance the Relational Interval Tree or the Linear Quadtree, support efficient processing of queries on top of existing object-relational datab...
