A Geographic Information System (GIS) is an information system that stores spatially referenced data. The performance of manipulating spatial data stored in maps usually is not very satisfactory. Hence, finding an encoding scheme that can manipulate spatial data more efficiently is the most important research task in GIS. In this paper, we use linear interpolation – based bintrees to represent binary images. Compared to quadtrees, bintrees have fewer image blocks and thereby need less storage space. Based on our encoding scheme, both the set and the neighbor finding operations are very simple and efficient;thus resulting in performance improvement in the manipulation of graphic images in GIS. |
