  Abstract

Many commercial database systems maintain histograms to summarize the contents of relations, permit efficient estimation of query result sizes, and access lan costs. In spatial database systems, most query predicates consist of topological relationship between spatial objects, and it is very important to estimate the selectivity of those predicates for spatial query optimizer. In this paper, we propose a selectivity estimation scheme for spatial topological predicates based on the multi-dimensional histogram and the transformation scheme. Proposed scheme applies two partition strategies on transformed object space to generate spatial histogram, and estimates the selectivity of topological predicates based on the topological characteristic of transformed space. Proposed scheme provides a way for estimating the selectivity without too much memory space usage and additional I/Os in spatial query optimizer.
