Quadtrees, Octrees and Orthtrees Reference

Jackson Campolattaro, Simon Giraudot, Cédric Portaneri, Tong Zhao, and Pierre Alliez

The Orthtree package provides a data structure that subdivides space, with specializations for 2D (Quadtree) and 3D (Octree), along with a collection of algorithms for operating on these structures.
