VIP-Tree: An Effective Index for Indoor Spatial Queries
Summary: Introduces IP-Tree and VIP-Tree, lightweight indexes tailored to indoor-venue properties rather than generic spatial layouts. They support near-optimal shortest-distance/path queries plus efficient kNN and range search, outperforming prior methods by orders of magnitude. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
