Bentley-Ottmann algorithm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bentley-Ottmann algorithm is a sweep line algorithm for solving the line segment intersection problem on a plane. It works by considering the intersections of the line segments with a "sweep" line which is moved progressively across the set of line segments.
