Consider two sets of spatial objectsRandS, where each object is assigned a score (e.g., ranking). Given a spatial distance thresholdεand an integerk, the top-kspatial distance join (k- SDJ) returns thekpairs of objects, which have the highest combined score (based on an aggregate functionγ) among all object pairs inR×Swhich have spatial distance at mostε. Despite the practical application value of this query, it has not received adequate attention in the past. In this paper, we fill this gap by proposing methods that utilize both location and score information from the objects, enabling top-kjoin computation by accessing a limited number of objects. Extensive experiments demonstrate that a technique which accesses blocks of data fromRandSordered by the object scores and then joins them using an aR-tree based module performs best in practice and outperforms alternative solutions by a wide margin.
