BSP Trees (Binary Space Partitioning Trees)

BSP Trees (Binary Space Partitioning Trees) are data structures used in computer graphics and spatial organization. They work by recursively dividing a space into two parts using a dividing plane, creating a tree-like structure. This process continues until each section contains manageable data, like objects or surfaces. BSP Trees help quickly determine what objects are visible, hidden, or overlapping, making rendering and collision detection more efficient. They are particularly useful in 3D environments, video games, and CAD software for managing complex scenes by simplifying spatial calculations.
