Abstract
Techniques are described for memory-efficient spatial histogram construction. A hierarchical spatial index has leaf nodes and non-leaf nodes, each leaf node representing a bounding region containing a spatial object, each non-leaf node representing a bounding region at least partially containing one or more spatial objects. A plurality of selected nodes is selected from the plurality of non-leaf nodes. The plurality of selected nodes includes an ancestor of each leaf node. For each particular node in the plurality of selected nodes, a weight is determined. The weight is based on the number of spatial objects contained within the bounding region of the particular node. A spatial partitioning of the plurality of selected nodes is determined. A spatial histogram is generated based on the spatial partitioning of the weights of the plurality of selected nodes.
