The Bentley-Ottmann algorithm is a sweep line algorithm for solving the line segment intersection problem on a plane, named after Jon Bentley and Thomas A. Ottman. It works by considering the intersections of the line segments with a "sweep" line which is moved progressively across the set of line segments.
