We wish to extract the topology from scanned maps. In previous work [15] this was done by extracting a skeleton from the Voronoi diagram, but this required vertex labelling and wa...
We propose a speed-up method for discrete-event simulations, including sweep-line or -plane techniques, requiring the repeated calculation of the times at which certain discrete e...
The computer--aidedsolution to algorithmic problemsis becoming moreandmoreimportant in variousapplicationdomains.This is in particular true for computationalgeometry.For example,g...
Several motion planning methods using networks of randomly generated nodes in the free space have been shown to perform well in a number of cases, however their performance degrad...

We show a remarkable fact about folding paper: From a single rectangular sheet of paper, one can fold it into a flat origami that takes the (scaled) shape of any connected polygo...
