  2. Minimum bounding box - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_bounding_box

    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.

  3. Minimum bounding rectangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_bounding_rectangle

    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).

  4. Minimum bounding box algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_bounding_box...

    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 ...

  5. Slab method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slab_method

    If the origin lies on a face of the bounding box, then for some it will happen that =, which is undefined (in IEEE 754 it is represented by NaN). However, implementations of the IEEE 754-2008 minNum and maxNum functions [ 5 ] will treat NaN as a missing value, and when comparing a well-defined value with a NaN they will always return the well ...

  6. Bounding interval hierarchy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounding_interval_hierarchy

    calculate the scene bounding box use a heuristic to choose one axis and a split plane candidate perpendicular to this axis sort the objects to the left or right child (exclusively) depending on the bounding box of the object (note that objects intersecting the split plane may either be sorted by its overlap with the child volumes or any other ...

  7. Bounding volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounding_volume

    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 ...

  8. Smallest-circle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallest-circle_problem

    Some instances of the smallest bounding circle. The smallest-circle problem (also known as minimum covering circle problem, bounding circle problem, least bounding circle problem, smallest enclosing circle problem) is a computational geometry problem of computing the smallest circle that contains all of a given set of points in the Euclidean plane.

  9. Collision detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_detection

    Bounding volumes such as Oriented Bounding Boxes (OBB), K-DOPs and Convex-hulls offer a tighter approximation of the enclosed shape at the expense of a more elaborate intersection test. Bounding volumes are typically used in the early (pruning) stage of collision detection, so that only objects with overlapping bounding volumes need be compared ...
