Algorithms for classifying and constructing the boundary of a shape

J. of Design Research (JDR), Vol. 5, No. 1, 2006

Abstract: This paper continues with the subject matter that we introduced previously (Krishnamurti and Stouffs, 2004). Here, we describe algorithms for classifying the boundary of a shape with respect to another, coequal, shape and for constructing the description of a shape given parts of the boundary that make up the shape. Specifically, algorithms for classification and construction of shapes in U₂₃ (plane shapes) and in U₃₃ (volume shapes) are described in this paper. These procedures form a unified basis for shape arithmetic.
