Abstract
In this paper, we develop a simple technique for constructing
a I3inary Space Partition (nSP) for a set of orthogonal rectangles in IR3.
OUf algorithm has the novel feature that it tunes its performance to the
geometric properties of the rectangles, e.g., their aspect ratios.
"Fe have implemented our algorithm and tested its performance on real
data scti). V\.Tc have also systematically compared the performance of our
algorithm with that of other techniques presented in the literature. Our
studies show that our algorithm constructs nsps of near-linear size and
small height in practice, has fast running times, and answers queries
efficiently. It is a method of choice for constructing BSPs for orthogonal
rectangles.
