Unlocking the Mysteries of the Bounding Box
نویسنده
چکیده
Few geospatial data representations are more basic than the bounding box; a rectangle surrounding a geographic feature or dataset. Bounding boxes are a key component of geospatial metadata and lie at the heart of many computational geometry algorithms as well as spatial indexing systems. Despite their ubiquity and common use, bounding boxes are more complicated than they first appear. The phrase that ‘spatial is special’ applies to this humble representation as well as to more sophisticated geospatial representations. This paper explores the nuances of correctly understanding, using, and interpreting bounding boxes.

On Passive Quadrupedal Bounding with Flexible Linear Torso
This paper studies the effect of flexible linear torso on the dynamics of passive quadruped bounding. A reduced-order passive and conservative model with linear flexible torso and springy legs is introduced. The model features extensive spine deformation during high-speed bounding, resembling those observed in a cheetah. Fixed points corresponding to cyclic bounding motions are found and calcul...
متن کاملA Sociological Study on the Effect of the Facebook for Bounding Social Capital among the Youth
Face book is virtual and cybernetic network which causes an effective force and among the youth. It shows that if the usage of the face book network increases at home the rate of the interaction and the bounding social capital decreases as well. It also indicates that the effect of face book usage among the young people has increased already. Through a questionnaire by a survey method, more tha...
متن کاملFast Projected Area Computation for Three-Dimensional Bounding Boxes
The area covered by a three-dimensional bounding box after projection onto the screen is relevant for view-dependent algorithms in real-time and photorealistic rendering. We describe a fast method to compute the accurate two-dimensional area of a three-dimensional oriented bounding box, and show how it can be computed equally fast or faster than its approximation with a two-dimensional bounding...
متن کاملRobust Visual Tracking with Double Bounding Box Model
A novel tracking algorithm that can track a highly non-rigid target robustly is proposed using a new bounding box representation called the Double Bounding Box (DBB). In the DBB, a target is described by the combination of the Inner Bounding Box (IBB) and the Outer Bounding Box (OBB). Then our objective of visual tracking is changed to find the IBB and OBB instead of a single bounding box, wher...
