Abstract

This paper introduces a spatial access method, SB+ -tree that is based on B+ -tree structure. For each axis of the space, a set of indexing points is generated, where an indexing point is created whenever a new minimum bounding rectilinear rectangle (or MBR) begins or ends. These indexing points are then used to create a SB+ -tree. We will present algorithms using SB+ -tree, for performing two spatial selection operators, namely, Window-Intersection and Point-Containment, and one spatial join operator, Regions-Containment. Analytically, we will show the improved performance of the Window-Intersection operation using SB+ -tree over using existing paged-secondary memory spatial access structures such as R*-tree [4].
