r树 java,R树的Java实现

I was searching the last few days for a stable implementation of the R-Tree with support of unlimited dimensions (20 or so would be enough). I only found this http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsi/ but they only support 2 dimensions.

Another Option would be a multidimensional implementation of an interval-tree.

Maybe I'm completly wrong with the idea of using an R-Tree or Intervall-Tree for my Problem so i state the Problem in short, that you can send me your thoughts about this.

The Problem I need to solve is some kind of nearest-neighbour search. I have a set of Antennas and rooms and for each antenna an interval of Integers. E.g. antenna 1, min -92, max -85. In fact it could be represented as room -> set of antennas -> interval for antenna.

The idea was that each room spans a box in the R-Tree over the dimension of the antennas and in each dimension by the interval.

If I get a query with N-Antennas and values for each antenna I then could just represent the Information as a query point in the room and retrieve the rooms "nearest" to the point.

Hope you got an Idea of the problem and my idea.

Be aware that R-Trees can degrade badly when you have discrete data. The first thing you really need to find out is an appropriate data representation, then test if your queries work on a subset of the data.

R-Trees will only make your queries faster. If they don't work in the first place, it will not help. You should test your approach without using R-Trees first. Unless you hit a large amount of data (say, 100.000 objects), a linear scan in-memory can easily outperform an R-Tree, in particular when you need some adapter layer because it is not well-intergrated with your code.

The obvious approach here is to just use bounding rectangles, and linearly scan over them. If they work, you can then store the MBRs in an R-Tree to get some performance improvements. But if it doesn't work with a linear scan, it won't work with an R-Tree either (it will not work faster.)
