Polyhedral Surface Approximation of Non-convex Voxel Sets through the Modification of Convex Hulls
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we want to introduce an algorithm for the creation of polyhedral approximations for objects represented as strongly connected sets of voxels in three-dimensional binary images. The algorithm generates the convex hull of a given object and modifies the hull afterwards by recursive repetitions of generating convex hulls of subsets of the given voxel set or subsets of the background voxels. The result of this method is a polyhedron which separates object voxels from background voxels. The objects processed by this algorithm and also the background voxel components inside the convex hull of the objects are restricted to have genus 0.

Polyhedral approximation and practical convex hull algorithm for certain classes of voxel sets
In this paper we introduce an algorithm for the creation of polyhedral approximations for certain kinds of digital objects in a three-dimensional space. The objects are sets of voxels represented as strongly connected subsets of an abstract cell complex. The proposed algorithm generates the convex hull of a given object and modifies the hull afterwards by recursive repetitions of generating con...
متن کاملStrong valid inequalities for orthogonal disjunctions and bilinear covering sets
In this paper, we develop a convexification tool that enables the construction of convex hulls for orthogonal disjunctive sets using convex extensions and disjunctive programming techniques. A distinguishing feature of our technique is that, unlike most applications of disjunctive programming, it does not require the introduction of new variables in the relaxation. We develop and apply a toolbo...
متن کاملShortest Paths and Convex Hulls in 2D Complexes with Non-Positive Curvature
Globally non-positively curved, or CAT(0), polyhedral complexes arise in a number of applications, including evolutionary biology and robotics. These spaces have unique shortest paths and are composed of Euclidean polyhedra, yet many properties of convex hulls in Euclidean space fail to transfer over. We give examples of some such properties. For 2-dimensional CAT(0) polyhedral complexes, we gi...

متن کاملSome results on functionally convex sets in real Banach spaces
We use of two notions functionally convex (briefly, F--convex) and functionally closed (briefly, F--closed) in functional analysis and obtain more results. We show that if $lbrace A_{alpha} rbrace _{alpha in I}$ is a family $F$--convex subsets with non empty intersection of a Banach space $X$, then $bigcup_{alphain I}A_{alpha}$ is F--convex. Moreover, we introduce new definition o...
