AN INSERTION STRATEGY FOR A TWO-DIMENSIONAL SPATIAL ACCESS METHOD

Wendy Osborn, Ken Barker

Abstract

This paper presents the 2DR-tree, a novel approach for accessing spatial data. The 2DR-tree uses nodes that are the same dimensionality as the data space. All spatial relationships between objects are preserved. A validity rule ensures that every node preserves the spatial relationships among its objects. The proposed insertion strategy adds a new object by recursively partitioning the space occupied by a set of objects. A performance evaluation shows the advantages of the 2DR-tree and identifies issues for future consideration.
