GPU Rasterization for Real-Time Spatial Aggregation over Arbitrary Polygons
Summary: GPU rasterization converts spatial aggregation over polygons into canvas rendering, exploiting the GPU for interactive response. Adaptive canvas resolution trades accuracy for speed; with polygon index, it yields precise results and beats baselines. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
