  2. Minimum bounding box algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_bounding_box...

    In computational geometry, the smallest enclosing box problem is that of finding the oriented minimum bounding box enclosing a set of points. It is a type of bounding volume. "Smallest" may refer to volume, area, perimeter, etc. of the box. It is sufficient to find the smallest enclosing box for the convex hull of the objects in question. It is ...

  3. Minimum bounding box - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_bounding_box

    A sphere enclosed by its axis-aligned minimum bounding box (in 3 dimensions) In geometry, the minimum bounding box or smallest bounding box (also known as the minimum enclosing box or smallest enclosing box) for a point set S in N dimensions is the box with the smallest measure (area, volume, or hypervolume in higher dimensions) within which all the points lie.

  4. Minimum bounding rectangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_bounding_rectangle

    A series of geometric shapes enclosed by its minimum bounding rectangle. In computational geometry, the minimum bounding rectangle (MBR), also known as bounding box (BBOX) or envelope, is an expression of the maximum extents of a two-dimensional object (e.g. point, line, polygon) or set of objects within its x-y coordinate system; in other words min(x), max(x), min(y), max(y).

  5. Smallest-circle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallest-circle_problem

    Some instances of the smallest bounding circle. The smallest-circle problem (also known as minimum covering circle problem, bounding circle problem, least bounding circle problem, smallest enclosing circle problem) is a computational geometry problem of computing the smallest circle that contains all of a given set of points in the Euclidean plane.

  6. Packing problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packing_problems

    Packing different rectangles in a rectangle: The problem of packing multiple rectangles of varying widths and heights in an enclosing rectangle of minimum area (but with no boundaries on the enclosing rectangle's width or height) has an important application in combining images into a single larger image. A web page that loads a single larger ...

  7. Bounding sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounding_sphere

    Some instances of the smallest bounding circle, the case of the bounding sphere in 2 dimensions.. In mathematics, given a non-empty set of objects of finite extension in -dimensional space, for example a set of points, a bounding sphere, enclosing sphere or enclosing ball for that set is a -dimensional solid sphere containing all of these objects.

  8. Rectangle packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectangle_packing

    Given a rectilinear polygon (whose sides meet at right angles) R in the plane, a set S of points in R, and a set of identical squares, the goal is to find the largest number of non-overlapping squares that can be packed in points of S. Suppose that, for each point p in S, we put a square centered at p. Let G S be the intersection graph of these ...

  9. Minimum-weight triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum-weight_triangulation

    In computational geometry and computer science, the minimum-weight triangulation problem is the problem of finding a triangulation of minimal total edge length. [1] That is, an input polygon or the convex hull of an input point set must be subdivided into triangles that meet edge-to-edge and vertex-to-vertex, in such a way as to minimize the ...
