Space-Efficient Structures for Range Querying

In this web we provide several space-efficient representations of rectangle datasets that can be used in the development of geographic indexes supporting orthogonal range queries.

Source Code

  • Space-Efficient Point Query Structure: SE-PQ.
  • Wavelet Tree on Rectangles: WTR.
  • Interval Stabbing Structures: IS.
  • STR R-tree and CR-tree (require Spatial Library): R-tree.
  • Common utilities (coordinates encoding, management of input files, etc.): util.
