.... our bulk loading algorithm for the PR quadtree, the fact that point data has no spatial extent enables us to build the leaf nodes of the quadtree in a bottom up manner (loosely speaking) This is in contrast to the PMR quadtree bulk loading algorithm, which must proceed in a top down manner (see [6] for more details including pseudo code listings and a technique for extending the algorithms for bulk insertions) The rest of this paper is organized as follows. Section 2 describes the PR and PMR quadtrees and their implementation. Section 3 presents our bulk loading approach for the PMR ....
....of qobjects per object. If the objects are very small compared to the size of the data space, D 0 ave will be nearly as high as D ave , so the number of intersection tests will be small. In the extreme case of point objects, no intersection tests are needed and D ave D 0 ave 1 . Experiments [6] on typical line maps showed that our improved algorithm reduces the number of intersection tests by a factor of 3 to 5. 4 Bulk Loading PR Quadtrees The bulk loading method for quadtrees described in Section 3 can be used to bulk load a PMR quadtree for any type of spatial objects. However, it ....
