algorithmic techniques

• Sampling and Scaling: used to speed-up discrete-allocation
• Convolution by Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) for potential calculations.
  • A convolution performance comparison between ESRI’s ArcGIS (focal sum, 26 hrs) and the GeoDMS (potential, 2 minutes) is done for the GIS performance contest of the Spatial Analysis dept of the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam. The contest provided a 1 km world wide grid and a 50 km kernel.
• Use of spatial indices :
  • QuadTrees in geometric algoritmes and
  • TileGrids visualisation.
• Development of faster algorithms for specific operations: fisher’s-natural-breaks-classification-complexity-proof, discrete-allocation
