Decomposing a simple polygon into pseudo-triangles and convex polygons
In this paper we consider the problem of decomposing a simple polygon into subpolygons that exclusively use vertices of the given polygon. We allow two types of subpolygons: pseudo-triangles and convex polygons. We call the resulting decomposition PTconvex. We are interested in minimum decompositions, i.e., in decomposing the input polygon into the least number of subpolygons. Allowing subpolyg...
متن کاملDecomposing a Simple Polygon into Trapezoids
Chazelle’s triangulation [1] forms today the common basis for linear-time Euclidean shortest path (ESP) calculations (where start and end point are given within a simple polygon). This paper provides an alternative method for subdividing a simple polygon into “basic shapes”, using trapezoids instead of triangles. The authors consider the presented method as being substantially simpler than the ...
متن کاملDecompositions, Partitions, and Coverings with Convex Polygons and Pseudo-triangles
We propose a novel subdivision of the plane that consists of both convex polygons and pseudo-triangles. This pseudo-convex decomposition is significantly sparser than either convex decompositions or pseudo-triangulations for planar point sets and simple polygons. We also introduce pseudo-convex partitions and coverings. We establish some basic properties and give combinatorial bounds on their c...
متن کاملPseudo-Convex Decomposition of Simple Polygons
We extend a dynamic-programming algorithm of Keil and Snoeyink for finding a minimum convex decomposition of a simple polygon to the case when both convex polygons and pseudo-triangles are allowed. Our algorithm determines a minimum pseudo-convex decomposition of a simple polygon in O(n) time where n is the number of the vertices of the polygon. In this way we obtain a well-structured decomposi...
متن کاملMaximal Area Triangles in a Convex Polygon
In [12], the widely known linear time algorithm for computing the maximum area triangle in a convex polygon was found incorrect, and whether it can still be solved in linear time was proposed as an open problem. We resolved it affirmatively by presenting a new linear time algorithm. Our algorithm is simple and easy to implement, and it computes all the locally maximal triangles. 1998 ACM Subjec...
