A Raster Approximation for the Processing of Spatial Joins
Summary: Introduces Four-Color Raster Signature (4CRS), a raster polygon approximation for spatial-join filtering that classifies candidate pairs as positive, negative, or inconclusive. On real datasets, it cuts inconclusive pairs—and thus exact geometry tests—by over 2× versus prior filters. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
