_ The reverse search technique has been recently introduced by the authors for eflicicnt enumeration of vertices of polyhedra and arrangements. In this paper, we develop this idea in a general… (More)
Automatic computer processing of large multidimensional images such as those produced by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is greatly aided by deformable models, which are used to extract, identify,… (More)
We present a ne w piv ot-based algorithm which can be used with minor modification for the enumeration of the facets of the con vex hull of a set of points, or for the enumeration of the vertices of… (More)
In many computer applications areas such as graphics, automated cartography, image processing, and robotics the notion of visibility among objects modeled as polygons is a recurring theme. This paper… (More)
This paper describes an impro ved implementation of the re v rse search v ertex enumeration/con vex hull algorithm ford-dimensional con vex polyhedra. The implementation uses a lexicographic ratio… (More)
We introduce the unoriented Θ-maximum as a new criterion for describing the shape of a set of planar points. We present efficient algorithms for computing the unoriented Θ-maximum of a set of planar… (More)
This survey paper reviews results on heuristics for two weighted matching problems: matchings where the vertices are points in the plane and weights are Euclidean distances, and the assignment… (More)
Afi nite metric (or more properly semimetric) on n points is a non-negative vector d = (d ij)1≤ i < j ≤ n that satisfies the triangle inequality: d ij ≤ d ik + d jk .The L 1 (or Manhattan)distance |… (More)
