Chazelle’s triangulation [1] forms today the common basis for linear-time Euclidean shortest path (ESP) calculations (where start and end point are given within a simple polygon)...
In this paper we consider the problem of decomposing a simple polygon into subpolygons that exclusively use vertices of the given polygon. We allow two types of subpolygons: pseud...
Efficient evaluation of spatial join is an important issue in spatial databases. The traditional evaluation strategy is to perform a join of “minimum bounding rectangles” (mbr...
We propose a strategy to decompose a polygon, containing zero or more holes, into “approximately convex” pieces. For many applications, the approximately convex components of ...
—Target shape matching can be used as a quick and easy surrogate task when evaluating optimization algorithms intended for computationally expensive tasks, such as turbine blade ...
