  • An envelope construction of a set of polygons in a land cadastre
    Žalik, Borut
    This paper describes an efficient algorithm for an envelope construction of a set of polygons, which abut exactly against each other along their edges--the situation is characteristic in a land ... cadastre. This feature allows an efficient algorithm to be implemented, which consists of three steps. At first, the common edges of neighboring polygons are eliminated. We call these edges twin edges. In the second step, an envelope is constructed using non-twin edges. For this task, a new algorithm using two binary trees is proposed. At the end, the spatial relationships between polygons forming the envelope are established. To accelerate the elimination of twin edges, a combination of a uniform plane subdivision and binary searching trees is used.The whole algorithm for envelope determination works in O(n log n) time, where n is the total number of the input edges. At the end, the algorithm is analyzed also regarding spent CPU time using different configurations of inputpolygons.
