Dynamic convex hull maintenance: The input points may be sequentially inserted or deleted, and the convex hull must be updated after each insert/delete operation. Insertion of a point may increase the number of vertices of a convex hull at most by 1, while deletion may convert an n -vertex convex hull into an n-1 -vertex one.
Input = a set S of n points Assume that there are at least 2 points in the input set S of points function QuickHull(S) is // Find convex hull from the set S of n points Convex Hull := {} Find left and right most points, say A & B, and add A & B to convex hull Segment AB divides the remaining (n − 2) points into 2 groups S1 and S2 where S1 are points in S that are on the right side of the ...
Convex hull, alpha shape and minimal spanning tree of a bivariate data set. In computational geometry, an alpha shape, or α-shape, is a family of piecewise linear simple curves in the Euclidean plane associated with the shape of a finite set of points. They were first defined by Edelsbrunner, Kirkpatrick & Seidel (1983).
For the sake of simplicity, the description below assumes that the points are in general position, i.e., no three points are collinear.The algorithm may be easily modified to deal with collinearity, including the choice whether it should report only extreme points (vertices of the convex hull) or all points that lie on the convex hull [citation needed].
A demo of Graham's scan to find a 2D convex hull. Graham's scan is a method of finding the convex hull of a finite set of points in the plane with time complexity O(n log n). It is named after Ronald Graham, who published the original algorithm in 1972. [1] The algorithm finds all vertices of the convex hull ordered along its boundary.
Examples include the oloid, the convex hull of two circles in perpendicular planes, each passing through the other's center, [28] the sphericon, the convex hull of two semicircles in perpendicular planes with a common center, and D-forms, the convex shapes obtained from Alexandrov's uniqueness theorem for a surface formed by gluing together two ...
Minkowski addition and convex hulls. The sixteen dark-red points (on the right) form the Minkowski sum of the four non-convex sets (on the left), each of which consists of a pair of red points. Their convex hulls (shaded pink) contain plus-signs (+): The right plus-sign is the sum of the left plus-signs.
