Method and apparatus for high speed object location

摘要: A method and apparatus for rapidly locating a desired object in bit-mapped or vector display listed space, wherein additional information is appended to stored with the information. This relates relative coordinate position of that element within larger, more coarsely defined space grid, such as an 8×8 grid. The present invention reduces processing time necessary locate by comparing area grid rapid preliminary acceptance rejection prior further detail search elements. Thus, if no coincidence found between elements having at least portion second set corresponding area, then not located avoided. Similarly, signals relating cumulative are linked memory lists, comparisons contained lists will eliminate need should there be coincidence, thereby enhancing speed search.
