Hi Luke,

I also don’t see the visual representation. It sounds like you want to summarise over disjoint boxes in the interaction heat map. It also sounds like your strategy is to use quad-trees, truncated at a certain depth with all the children accumulated to that depth. If so then what happens if you have a region that crosses two quads of the level you try to summarise at? What about the pathological case of a box right in the middle of your matrix?

Do you have a readily available implementation of a rectangle quad-tree? This is more complicated than the point quad-tree, significantly more so if it’s to be cache-efficient and parallel.

I would suggest you start with naive box intersections, it’s trivial to compute each summarising box in parallel for speed. If this approach is too slow then maybe you can have a try at the quad-tree. After all, you’ll want to compare the quad-tree to something to actually make sure it’s “fast”.

Kind regards,
Shian
