Direct Spatial Search on Pictorial Databases Using Packed R-trees

Summary: Direct spatial search on pictorial databases using packed R-trees. Efficient initial packing builds R-trees to index spatial objects and relationships in static, non-update-intensive pictorial data, enabling high-level, object-oriented queries with substantial performance gains.
