Abstract: Packing spatial data into blocks and processing of global impact of local operations are two important tasks for spatial index to support bulk operations. In this paper, we present a new spatial index called Pattern-tree for bulk operations with spatial distribution pattern analysis. For packing objects into blocks, a new spatial data partitioning method based on the detection of the spatial distribution pattern was presented. This paper introduces a novel spatial index construction algorithm that combines of top-down and bottom-up methods; For processing of local update operations and its global impact, this paper introduces a new algorithm based on change analysis of the spatial distribution pattern. Empirical results demonstrate that performance improvements are achieved in practice in the case of spatial index construction and windows query compared with STLT, GBI and SCB.

Key words: spatial index, bulk operations, spatial distribution pattern
