Abstract

Bentley and Ottmann present an algorithm for reporting all K intersections among N planar line segments in 0((N + K) log N) time and 0(N + K) storage. With a small modification that storage requirement can be reduced to 0(N) with no increase in computation time, which is important because K can grow as θ(N2).
