Ideas for new methods

[nkoutroumanis]

Hello David,

I was wondering if in a future release of this project you are going to add as Java methods the two following things:

• get the perimetric Hilbert 1D values for a query
• for a cell C, get the ones that are X hoops far

Thank you,
Nikos

Hi, i haven't plans for this, no, but we can discuss further. An explanation of why it's useful would be good and then perhaps you'd like to contribute a PR?

The first bullet would be useful for the query refinement procedure. I mean that for a spatiotemporal query, you would have to refine only the points that are located in the perimetric cells. The rest (internal) cells would not have to be refined as they are fully enclosed by the query. The second bullet would be useful for kNN queries, as someone would like to look for the cells that are X hoops far. Cheers, Nikos
