Spatial Priority Search: An Access Technique for Scaleless Maps
Summary: Spatial Priority Search provides an adaptive index for scaleless maps, supporting inserts, deletes, updates, and location-based queries at arbitrary scales. It uses priority-based generalization to ignore low-priority points, partitions polygon corners with minimal redundancy, and enables fast proximity queries under a threshold.
