This method can query an arbitrary region based on variable physical windows, and optimizes data retrieve paths by a key nodes selection strategy. According to the characteristics of sensing data, we introduce an efficient filter into the each query subtree to keep non-skyline data from being retrieved. Experimental results show that our method can efficiently return the overview situation of any query region.
