Abstract:
Access methods play a fundamental role on the performace of geographic databases that typically stores very large maps. This paper introduces a new data structure, called HPS-tree, designed to store geometrical and topological information of very large maps. The proposed structure is designed to efficiently handle the topology and the complete geometry description of the map, with geometrical and topological multiresolution.
