A Novel Robust Approach for Computing DE-9IM Matrices Based on Space Partition and Integer Coordinates

A novel approach for a robust computation of positional relations of two-dimensional geometric features is presented which guarantees reliable results, provided that the initial data is valid. The method is based on the use of integer coordinates and a method to generate a complete, gap-less and non...
