  • Analyzing changes between two sets of polygons using plane subdivision
    Gomboši, Matej ; Žalik, Borut
    In this article, a new algorithm for determining differences between two sets of polygons is considered. It has been pro ven that it is enough to test only the polygon edges to perform the ... comparison. The algorithm works in two steps. First, the polygon edges are inserted into data structure and eliminated by a simple criterion. In the second part, the algorithm analyses the remaining edges and prepares a report about the detected differences. To speed-up the geometric search, the algorithm uses a combination of a uniform space subdivision and binary searching trees. It has been shown that the algorithm is numerically stable, and works well also with the limited set of non-simple polygons occurring in practice. The algorithm's time complexity is O(n log nj, and space complexity O(n), where n is the common number of edges in both sets of polygons. That has been confirmed by experiments using data sets from a land cadastre.
