Bentley–Ottmann algorithm: Data structures, Faster algorithms & Numerical precision issues

In computational geometry, the Bentley–Ottmann algorithm is a sweep line algorithm for listing all crossings in a set of line segments, i.e. it finds the intersection points (or, simply, intersections) of line segments. It extends the Shamos–Hoey algorithm, a similar previous algorithm for testing whether or not a set of line segments has any crossings.…
