Abstract

Range reporting is a one of the most fundamental topics in spatial databases and computational geometry. In this class of problems, the input consists of a set of geometric objects, such as points, line segments, rectangles etc. The goal is to preprocess the input set into a data structure, such that given a query range, one can efficiently report all input objects intersecting the range. The ranges most commonly considered are axis-parallel rectangles, halfspaces, points, simplices and balls.
