A Qualitative Comparison Study of Data Structures for Large Line Segment Databases
Summary: Qualitative comparison of R*-tree, R+-tree, and PMR quadtree for large line-segment databases (TIGER/Line). Shows comparability and delineates when and why their disk I/O, storage, and query performance differ for point, window, nearest-segment, and enclosing-polygon tasks.
