Abstract

We consider the problem of performing polygonal map overlay and the refinement step of spatial overlay joins. We show how to adapt algorithms from computational geometry to solve these problems for massive data sets. A performance study with artificial and real-world data sets helps to identify the algorithm that should be used for given input data.
