A Raster Approximation for the Processing of Spatial Joins
Summary: Introduces 4CRS, a polygon raster signature for spatial joins, classifying candidate pairs into positive, negative, and inconclusive. Outperforms prior work with >2x fewer inconclusives and >2x less need for full polygon data and exact geometry tests. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
