A sphere enclosed by its axis-aligned minimum bounding box (in 3 dimensions) In geometry, the minimum bounding box or smallest bounding box (also known as the minimum enclosing box or smallest enclosing box) for a point set S in N dimensions is the box with the smallest measure (area, volume, or hypervolume in higher dimensions) within which all the points lie.
In computational geometry, the smallest enclosing box problem is that of finding the oriented minimum bounding box enclosing a set of points. It is a type of bounding volume. "Smallest" may refer to volume, area, perimeter, etc. of the box. It is sufficient to find the smallest enclosing box for the convex hull of the objects in question. It is ...
A series of geometric shapes enclosed by its minimum bounding rectangle. In computational geometry, the minimum bounding rectangle (MBR), also known as bounding box (BBOX) or envelope, is an expression of the maximum extents of a two-dimensional object (e.g. point, line, polygon) or set of objects within its x-y coordinate system; in other words min(x), max(x), min(y), max(y).
Sequence of probes around the convex hull of a polygon to determine its diameter using Rotating Caliper method. In computational geometry, the method of rotating calipers is an algorithm design technique that can be used to solve optimization problems including finding the width or diameter of a set of points.
Added support of 3/4 and box clipping configurations to 3D viewer. Added fast HLR-alike OpenGL rendering mode. Removed legacy Local Context functionality from AIS and legacy Boolean operations. Open CASCADE Technology 7.3 2018-05-29 — — Added algorithm constructing OBB (oriented bounding box).
Unfortunately, intersection tests become quickly more expensive as the bounding boxes become more sophisticated. A bounding box or minimum bounding box (MBB) is a cuboid, or in 2-D a rectangle, containing the object. In dynamical simulation, bounding boxes are preferred to other shapes of bounding volume such as bounding spheres or cylinders ...
Minimum bounding boxes are often implicitly assumed to be axis-aligned. A more general case is rectilinear polygons , the ones with all sides parallel to coordinate axes or rectilinear polyhedra. Many problems in computational geometry allow for faster algorithms when restricted to (collections of) axis-oriented objects, such as axis-aligned ...
In computer graphics, the slab method is an algorithm used to solve the ray-box intersection problem in case of an axis-aligned bounding box (AABB), i.e. to determine the intersection points between a ray and the box.
