Abstract
A method of retrieving an object contained in a domain δ within a space Δ containing a set of objects described in an initial matrix M, including construction of a subset ω of objects contained in the domain δ by extracting a matrix μ form the initial matrix M. A matrixing M of the space Δ is created by superimposing a large number of geometric matrices with different specifications ρ, each one of the meshes of each geometric matrix being identified by a unique and specific numerical value called a matrix code. The matrix M is sorted by matrix codes according to a predetermined order, with specifications ρ. Then the extraction matrix μ is constructed, describing only the objects affected by th meshes included in domain δ or intersected by domain δ.
