In computer science, an interval tree is a tree data structure to hold intervals. Specifically, it allows one to efficiently find all intervals that overlap with any given interval or point. It is often used for windowing queries,[1] for instance, to find all roads on a computerized map inside a rectangular viewport, or to find all visible elements inside a three-dimensional scene. A similar data structure is the segment tree.
The trivial solution is to visit each interval and test whether it intersects the given point or interval, which requires time, where is the number of intervals in the collection. Since a query may return all intervals, for example if the query is a large interval intersecting all intervals in the collection, this is asymptotically optimal; however, we can do better by considering output-sensitive algorithms, where the runtime is expressed in terms of , the number of intervals produced by the query. Interval trees have a query time of and an initial creation time of , while limiting memory consumption to . After creation, interval trees may be dynamic, allowing efficient insertion and deletion of an interval in time. If the endpoints of intervals are within a small integer range (e.g., in the range ), faster and in fact optimal data structures exist[2][3] with preprocessing time and query time for reporting intervals containing a given query point (see[2] for a very simple one).
