In the first part a framework is presented, that allows to represent uncertain line segments in 2D- and 3D-space and perform statistical test with these practically very important types of entities. The second part addresses the issue of performance of geometric reasoning. A data structure is introduced, that allows the efficient processing of large amounts of statistical tests involving geometric entities. The running times of this approach are finally evaluated experimentally.}, identifier = {05321237}, }
