Object Fusion in Geographic Information Systems

Summary: Introduces four location-only fusion algorithms to pairwise match objects across GIS databases despite imprecise locations and partial coverage. All four beat the one-sided nearest-neighbor join across varying density and overlap; one consistently best with modest extra run time. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
