Qhull computational geometry

  • How does Qhull work?

    Qhull uses merged facets, triangulated output, or joggled input.
    Triangulated output triangulates non-simplicial, merged facets.
    Joggled input also guarantees simplicial output, but it is less accurate than merged facets.
    For merged facets, Qhull reports the maximum outer and inner plane..

  • What is convex hull with example?

    The area enclosed by the rubber band is called the convex hull of P P P.
    This leads to an alternative definition of the convex hull of a finite set P P P of points in the plane: it is the unique convex polygon whose vertices are points from P P P and which contains all points of P P P..

  • What is Qhull Quickhull algorithm for computing the convex hull?

    Qhull implements the Quickhull algorithm for computing the convex hull.
    It handles roundoff errors from floating point arithmetic.
    It computes volumes, surface areas, and approximations to the convex hull..

  • What is the Chan's algorithm?

    Chan's algorithm finds out the convex hull in O(nlog h) time, where h is the number of vertices on the hull.
    It uses Graham's Scan and Jarvis's March for finding the convex hull..

  • What is the difference between CGAL and Qhull?

    For 64-bit code, CGAL uses significantly less memory than Qhull and runs faster.
    CGAL simulates arbitrary precision while Qhull handles round-off error with thick facets.
    Compare the two approaches with Robustness Issues in CGAL, and Imprecision in Qhull..

  • What is the Qhull?

    Qhull is a general dimension code for computing convex hulls, Delaunay triangulations, halfspace intersections about a point, Voronoi diagrams, furthest-site Delaunay triangulations, and furthest-site Voronoi diagrams.
    These structures have applications in science, engineering, statistics, and mathematics..

  • Convex Hull using Graham Scan

    1.
    1. Find the bottom-most point by comparing y coordinate of all points
      2. . 2.
    2. Consider the remaining n-1 points and sort them by polar angle in counterclockwise order around points[0]
      3. . 33 After sorting, check if two or more points have the same angle.
  • It assures that there will always be nodes at the precise coordinates of the sample data.
    This insures that the data minimum and maximum in the gridded model will match the sample data.
  • Note that the convex hull of a set is a closed "solid" region, including all the points inside.
    Often the term is used more loosely in computational geometry to mean the boundary of this region, since it is the boundary we compute, and that implies the region.
Computational geometry algorithms have traditionally assumed that input sets are well behaved. When an algorithm is implemented with floating point arithmetic,  [random-fixed] Qhull manual
Qhull computes the convex hull in 2-d, 3-d, 4-d, and higher dimensions. Qhull represents a convex hull as a list of facets. Each facet has a set of vertices, a set of neighboring facets, and a halfspace. A halfspace is defined by a unit normal and an offset (i.e., a row of A and an element of b).
Qhull is a general dimension code for computing convex hulls, Delaunay triangulations, halfspace intersections about a point, Voronoi diagrams, furthest-site Delaunay triangulations, and furthest-site Voronoi diagrams. These structures have applications in science, engineering, statistics, and mathematics.
