Determining Curves in Convex Hull from a Set of Planar Closed Convex Curves

A. V. Vishwanath, M. Ramanathan
2013 Computer-Aided Design and Applications  
Convex hull, a minimum enclosing convex envelope is a popular construction in the field of computational geometry.  ...  The edges of the MST can be considered as a rubberband connecting all the curves with zero enclosed area. Valency of nodes in the MST is used to define curve triplets.  ...  CONCLUSION In this paper, an algorithm for determining curves that belong to the convex hull from a set of planar closed disjoint curves based on MST computation.  ...

Minimax Location of Two Facilities with Minimum Separation: Interactive Graphical Solutions

I. Douglas Moon, Lee Papayanopoulos
1991 Journal of the Operational Research Society  
A computer’s graphics screen can display only discretized lines and curves. One of the LOCUS control param- eters dictates the number of discrete points to be displayed in the curve of the ellipse.  ...  Such problems (a) are planar, (b) are characterized by a given set of demand points, and (c) require the optimal positioning of one or more facilities at points in the plane which may or may not coincide  ...

Computing the minimum enclosing sphere of free-form hypersurfaces in arbitrary dimensions

Ramanathan Muthuganapathy, Gershon Elber, Gill Barequet, Myung-Soo Kim
2011 Computer-Aided Design  
The problem of computing the minimum enclosing sphere (MES) of a point set is a classical problem in Computational Geometry.  ...  To compute the MES of a pair of hypersurfaces, each one having a contact point (a point at which the sphere touches the hypersurface), antipodal constraints are employed.  ...  It has been shown that the computation of the minimum enclosing circle of a set of smooth planar curves is possible to compute in expected linear time as it is also an LP-type problem [3] (by smooth  ...

Summary of results on optimal camera placement for boundary monitoring

Robert J. Holt, Hong Man, Rainer Martini, Iraban Mukherjee, Ravi Netravali, Jing Wang, Belur V. Dasarathy
2007 Data Mining, Intrusion Detection, Information Assurance, and Data Networks Security 2007  
We consider the problems of placing cameras so that every point on a perimeter, that is not necessarily planar, is covered by at least one camera while using the smallest number of cameras.  ...  We also consider a joint optimization algorithm, which strikes a balance between minimizing calibration error and the number of cameras required to cover the boundary.  ...  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The work of R. J. Holt was supported in part by iNets, Stevens Institute of Technology, and Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies.  ...

Pseudoholomorphic behavior of planar space robots

Ranjan Mukherjee
1996 Journal of Guidance Control and Dynamics  
The symbols 67 and 03 denote some point within the domain D, and 2(D) is the area enclosed within the closed curve dD.  ...  One sim- ple way to avoid this situation is to impose the restriction that the area of the ellipse is a constant. This is equivalent to the constraint a db + bda=0.  ...
