R-tree is a tree data structure used for spatial searching. It was proposed
|
|
by Antonin Guttman in 1984 <a href="#ftn.geometry_index.r_tree.introduction.f0" class="footnote"><sup class="footnote"><a name="geometry_index.r_tree.introduction.f0"></a>[1]</sup></a> as an expansion of B-tree for multi-dimensional data. It may
|
|
be used to store points or volumetric data in order to perform a spatial
|
|
query later. This query may return objects that are inside some area or are
|
|
close to some point in space <a href="#ftn.geometry_index.r_tree.introduction.f1" class="footnote"><sup class="footnote"><a name="geometry_index.r_tree.introduction.f1"></a>[2]</sup></a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The R-tree structure is presented on the image below. Each R-tree's node
|
|
store a box descring the space occupied by its children nodes. At the bottom
|
|
of the structure, there are leaf-nodes which contains values (geometric objects
|
|
representations).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../images/rstar.png" alt="rstar"></span>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The number of maximum and mininimum node's elements must be specified by
|
|
the user. If the number of elements reaches it's maximum the new node is
|
|
created and elements are split between nodes. If the number of elements in
|
|
node is too small, the node is deleted and elements are reinserted into the
|
|
tree.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The R-tree is a self-balanced data structure. The key part of balancing algorithm
|
|
is node splitting algorithm <a href="#ftn.geometry_index.r_tree.introduction.f2" class="footnote"><sup class="footnote"><a name="geometry_index.r_tree.introduction.f2"></a>[3]</sup></a> <a href="#ftn.geometry_index.r_tree.introduction.f3" class="footnote"><sup class="footnote"><a name="geometry_index.r_tree.introduction.f3"></a>[4]</sup></a>. Each algorithm produces different splits so the internal structure
|
|
of a tree may be different for each one of them. In general more complex
|
|
algorithms analyses elements better and produces less overlapping nodes.
|
|
In the searching process less nodes must be traversed in order to find desired
|
|
obejcts. On the other hand more complex analysis takes more time. In general
|
|
faster inserting will result in slower searching and vice versa. Example
|
|
structures of trees created by use of three different algorithms and operations
|
|
time are presented below.
