A new type of range searching problem, called the partial enclosure range searching problem, is introduced in this paper. Given a set of geometric objects S and a query region Q , our goal is to identify those objects in S which intersect the query region Q by at least a fixed proportion of their original size. Two variations of this problem are studied. In the first variation, the objects in S are axis-parallel line segments and the goal is to count the total number of members of S so that their intersection with Q is at least a given proportion of their size. Here, Q can be an axis-parallel rectangle or a parallelogram of arbitrary orientation. In the second variation, S is a polygon and Q is an axis-parallel rectangle. The problem is to report the area of the intersection between the polygon S and a query rectangle Q. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
