Basic algorithms in computational geometry with imprecise input

چکیده
The domain-theoretic model of computational geometry provides us with continuous and computable predicates and binary operations. It can also be used to generalise the theory of computability for real numbers and real functions into geometric objects and geometric operations. A geometric object is computable if it is the effective limit of a sequence of finitary partial objects of the same type as the original object. We are also provided with two different quantitative measures for approximation using the Hausdorff metric and the Lebesgue measure. In this thesis, we introduce a new data type to capture imprecise data or approximate points on the plane, given in the shape of compact convex polygons. This data type in particular includes rectangular approximation and is invariant under linear transformations of coordinate system. Based on the new data type, we define the notion of a number of partial geometric operations, including partial perpendicular bisector and partial disc and we show that these operations and the convex hull, Delaunay triangulation and Voronoi diagram are Hausdorff and Scott continuous and nestedly Hausdorff and Lebesgue computable. We develop algorithms to obtain the partial convex hull, partial Delaunay triangulation and partial Voronoi diagram. We prove that the complexity of the partial convex hull is N logN in 2D and 3D, whereas the partial Delaunay triangulation and partial Voronoi diagram algorithms for non-degenerate data have the same complexity as their classical counterparts.

Basic Measures for Imprecise Point Sets in R
Most algorithms in computational geometry tend to assume that all input is exact, with no imprecision or error. Most real-world data however, has some imprecision (for example due to measurement error). Thus, there exists a need for algorithms that can produce meaningful output for imprecise input data. In this thesis, I present results on the computation of upper and lower bounds on various ba...
متن کاملParleda: a Library for Parallel Processing in Computational Geometry Applications
ParLeda is a software library that provides the basic primitives needed for parallel implementation of computational geometry applications. It can also be used in implementing a parallel application that uses geometric data structures. The parallel model that we use is based on a new heterogeneous parallel model named HBSP, which is based on BSP and is introduced here. ParLeda uses two main lib...
متن کاملVisual Hull with Imprecise Input
Imprecision is a long-standing problem in CAD design and high accuracy image-based reconstruction applications. The visual hull which is the closed silhouette equivalent shape of the objects of interest is an important concept in image-based reconstruction. We extend the domain-theoretic framework, which is a robust and imprecision capturing geometric model, to analyze the imprecision in the ou...

We consider the problem of finding the localization of radioactive source by using data from a digital camera. In other words, the camera could help us to detect the direction of radioactive rays radiation. Therefore, the outcome could be used to command a robot to move toward the true direction to achieve the source. The process of camera data is performed by using image processing and computa...
متن کاملSweep Line Algorithm for Convex Hull Revisited
Convex hull of some given points is the intersection of all convex sets containing them. It is used as primary structure in many other problems in computational geometry and other areas like image processing, model identification, geographical data systems, and triangular computation of a set of points and so on. Computing the convex hull of a set of point is one of the most fundamental and imp...
