Class PointTree<E>

Type Parameters:
E - the type of elements stored in this tree.
All Implemented Interfaces:
Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, Set<E>, Checked­Container<E>

public class PointTree<E> extends AbstractSet<E> implements CheckedContainer<E>
A k-dimensional tree index for points. For k=2, this is a point QuadTree. For k=3, this is a point Octree. Higher dimensions are also accepted up to 6<E> dimensions. Elements are stored in this Point­Tree as arbitrary non-null objects with their coordinates computed by a user-specified locator function. That function expects an element E in argument and returns its coordinates as a double[] array. The coordinates of each elements must be stable, i.e. applying the locator function twice on the same element must return the same coordinates. Searches based on element coordinates can be done with the following methods: The performances of this Point­Tree depends on two parameters: an estimated bounding box of the points to be added in this tree and a maximal capacity of leaf nodes (not to be confused with a capacity of the tree). More details are given in the constructor.

Thread-safety

This class is not thread-safe when the tree content is modified. But if the tree is kept unmodified after construction, then multiple read operations in concurrent threads are safe. Users can synchronize with Read­Write­Lock (the read lock must be held for complete duration of iterations or stream consumptions).

Serialization

This tree is serializable if the locator function and all elements in the tree are also serializable. However, the serialization details is implementation specific and may change in any future Apache SIS version.

Limitations

Current implementation does not yet support removal of elements.

  • Field Details

    • MAXIMUM_DIMENSIONS

      public static final int MAXIMUM_DIMENSIONS
      The maximum number of dimensions (inclusive) that this class currently supports. Current maximum is 6. This restriction come from 2⁶ = 64.

  • Constructor Details

    • PointTree

      public PointTree(PointTree<E> other)
      Creates a new tree initialized to a copy of the given tree. This copy constructor shares some data structure from the other tree for reducing memory usage, but the two trees are nevertheless independent (changes in a tree does not affect the other tree).
      Parameters:
      other - the other tree to copy.
    • PointTree

      public PointTree(Class<E> elementType, Envelope bounds, PointTree.Locator<? super E> locator, int nodeCapacity, boolean parallel)
      Creates an initially empty k-dimensional tree with the given capacity for each node. The number of dimensions of the given envelope determines the number of dimensions of points in this tree. The positions computed by locator must have the same number of dimensions than the given envelope.

      The bounds argument specifies the expected region of points to be added in this Point­Tree. Those bounds do not need to be exact; Point­Tree will work even if some points are located outside those bounds. However, performances will be better if the envelope center is close to the median of the points to be inserted in the Point­Tree, and if the majority of points are inside those bounds.

      The given node­Capacity is a threshold value controlling when the content of a node should be splited into smaller children nodes. That capacity should be a relatively small number, for example 10. Determining the most efficient value may require benchmarking.

      Parameters:
      element­Type - the base type of all elements in this tree.
      bounds - bounds of the region of data to be inserted in the k-dimensional tree.
      locator - function computing the position of any element in this tree.
      node­Capacity - the capacity of each node (not to be confused with a capacity of the tree).
      parallel - whether the stream can be parallel by default. Should be false if the given locator is not thread-safe.
