GIS (Geographic Information Systems) need faster access and better visualization. For faster access and better visualization in GIS, map generalization and levels of detail are needed. Existing spatial indexing methods do not support map generalization. Also, a few existing spatial indexing methods supporting map generalization do not support ail map generalization operations. We propose a new index structure, i.e. the LR-tree, supporting ail map generalization operations. This paper presents algorithms for the searching and updating the LR-tree and the results of performance evaluation. Our index structure works better than other spatial indexing methods for map generalization.

The I/O performance for spatial queries is extremely important since the handling of huge amount of multidimensional data is required in spatial databases for geographic information systems. Therefore, we describe representative spatial access methods handling complex spatial objects, z-transform B tree, KDB tree, R tree, MAX tree, to increase I/O performance. In addition, we measure the performance of spatial indexing schemes by testing against various realistic data and query sets. Results from the benchmark test indicates that MAX outperforms other indexing schemes on insertion, range query, spatial join. MAX tree is expected to use as index scheme organizing storage system of GIS in the future.

The telematics device, which is a typical embedded system on the transportation or vehicle, requires the embedded spatial DBMS based on RTOS (Real Time Operating System) for processing the huge spatial data in real time. This spatial DBMS can be developed very easily by SQL3 functions of the ORDBMS such as UDT (user-defined type) and UDF (user-defined function). However, developing index suitable for the embedded spatial DBMS is very difficult. This is due to the fact that there is no built-in SQL3 functions to construct spatial indexes. In this study, we compare and analyze both Generalized Search Tree and Relational Indexing methods which are suggested as common ways of developing User-Defined Indexes nowadays. Two implementations of R-Tree based on each method were done and region query performance test results were evaluated for suggesting a suitable indexing method of an embedded spatial DBMS, especially for telematics devices.

Multi-dimensional data play a crucial role in various fields, as like computer graphics, geographical information system, and multimedia applications. Indexing method fur multi-dimensional data Is a very Important factor in overall system performance. What is proposed in this paper is a new dynamic access method for spatial objects called HL-CIF(Hierarchically Layered Caltech Intermediate Form) tree which requires small amount of storage space and facilitates efficient query processing. HL-CIF tree is a combination of hierarchical management of spatial objects and CIF tree in which spatial objects and sub-regions are associated with representative points. HL-CIF tree adopts "centroid" of spatial objects as the representative point. By reflecting objects′sizes and positions in its structure, HL-CIF tree guarantees the high spatial locality of objects grouped in a sub-region rendering query processing more efficient.

Ubiquitous service based on Spatio-temporal dataspaces requires not only the moving objects data but also the spatial objects. However, existing methods can not handle the moving objects and spatial objects together. To overcome the limitation of existing methods, we propose a new index structure called UIL (Union Indexing Lists) which contains two parts: MOL (Moving Object List) and SOL (Spatial Object List) to index the moving objects and spatial objects together. In addition, it can suppose the flexible queries on these data. We present the results of a series of tests which indicate that the structure perform well.

Many indexing methods were proposed so that process moving object efficiently. Among them, indexing methods like the 3D R-tree treat temporal and spatial domain as the same. Actually, however. both domain had better process separately because of difference in character and unit. Especially in this paper we deal with limited region such as indoor environment since spatial domain is limited but temporal domain is grown. In this paper we present a novel indexing structure, namely STS-tree(Separation of Time and Space tree). based on limited region. STS-tree is a hybrid tree structure which consists of R-tree and one-dimensional TB-tree. The R-tree component indexes static object and spatial information such as topography of the space. The TB-tree component indexes moving object and temporal information.

Nowadays, with the rapid emergence of XML as a standard for data exchange over the Internet had led to considerable interest In the problem of data management requirements such as the need to store and query XML documents in which the location path languages Xpath is of particular important for XML application since it is a core component of many XML processing standards such as XSLT or XQuery, This parer gives a brief overview about method and design by applying a new spatial-based indexing method namely Xp-free that used for supporting Xpath. Spatial indexing technique has been proved its capacity on searching in large databases. Based on accelerating a node using planar as combined with the numbering schema, we devise efficiently derivative algorithms, which are simple, but useful. Besides that, it also allows to trace all Its relative nodes of context node In a manner supporting queries natural to the types especially Xpath queries with predicates.

Recently, with the increasing interest in facility management based on indoor spatial information, various studies have been attempted to manage facility conversion between BIM and GIS. Visualization of the geometry data for a large-scale is one of the major issues to the maintenance system. Therefore, this study designed the spatial indexing algorithm through an IFC schema-based scenario for the effective visualization of BIM data based on GIS. A part of the algorithm was developed implementing the OcTree structure and this research has a test for the developed output with IFC sample data. Ultimately, we propose the spatial indexing method for the effective visualization of BIM data based on GIS.

An efficient access technique is one of the most Important requirements in GIS. Using level -of-detailed data, we can access spatial data efficiently, because of no access to the fully detailed spatial data. Previous spatial access methods do not access data with level of detail efficiently. To solve it, a few spatial access methods for spatial data with level of detail, are known. However these methods support only a few kinds of data with level of detail, i.e, data through selection and simplification operations. For the effects, we propose a new spatial indexing method supporting fast searching in all kinds of data with level of detail. In the proposed method, the collection of indexes in its own level are integrated into a single index structure. Experimental results show that our method offers both no data redundancy and high search performance.

To increase the retrieval performance in spatial database systems, it is required to develop spatial indexing methods considered the spatial locality. The spatial locality is related to the location property of objects. The previous spatial indexing methods are not considered the circular location property that objects will be taken. In this paper, we propose a dynamic spatial index structure called $Cr^*$-tree, and evaluate the performance of the proposed index structure. This is a new spatial index structure considered the circular location property of objects in which a search space is constructed with the circular and linear domains. By the simulation results, the $Cr^*$-tree shows that the number of disk across is low and the bucket utilization is high regardless of object distribution and bucket capacity.
