The Minkowski Sum of Two Simple Surfaces Generated by Slope-Monotone Closed Curves
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an algorithm for computing Minkowski sums among surfaces of revolution and surfaces of linear extrusion, generated by slope-monotone closed curves. The special structure of these simple surfaces allows the process of normal matching between two surfaces to be expressed as an explicit equation. Based on this insight, we also present an efficient algorithm for computing the distance between two simple surfaces, even though they may in general be non-convex. Using an experimental implementation, the distance between two surfaces of revolution was computed in less than 0.5 msec on average.

متن کاملPolynomial/Rational Approximation of Minkowski Sum Boundary Curves
Given two planar curves, their convolution curve is defined as the set of all vector sums generated by all pairs of curve points which have the same curve normal direction. The Minkowski sum of two planar objects is closely related to the convolution curve of the two object boundary curves. That is, the convolution curve is a superset of the Minkowski sum boundary. By eliminating all redundant ...

متن کاملA Forward-Backward Projection Algorithm for Approximating of the Zero of the Sum of Two Operators
In this paper, a forward-backward projection algorithm is considered for finding zero points of the sum of two operators in Hilbert spaces. The sequence generated by algorithm converges strongly to the zero point of the sum of an $alpha$-inverse strongly monotone operator and a maximal monotone operator. We apply the result for solving the variational inequality problem, fixed po...

Let P be a simple polygon with m edges, which is the disjoint union of k simple polygons, all monotone in a common direction u, and let Q be another simple polygon with n edges, which is the disjoint union of l simple polygons, all monotone in a common direction v. We show that the combinatorial complexity of the Minkowski sum P ⊕ Q is O(klmnα(min{m,n})). Some structural properties of the case ...
