Managing uncertainty in moving objects databases

G Trajcevski, O Wolfson, K Hinrichs… - ACM Transactions on …, 2004 - dl.acm.org
This article addresses the problem of managing Moving Objects Databases (MODs) which
capture the inherent imprecision of the information about the moving object's location at a …

Approximate convex decomposition of polygons

JM Lien, NM Amato - Proceedings of the twentieth annual symposium on …, 2004 - dl.acm.org
We propose a strategy to decompose a polygon, containing zero or more holes,
into``approximately convex''pieces. For many applications, the approximately convex …

[HTML][HTML] An iterated local search algorithm based on nonlinear programming for the irregular strip packing problem

T Imamichi, M Yagiura, H Nagamochi - Discrete Optimization, 2009 - Elsevier
The irregular strip packing problem is a combinatorial optimization problem that requires to
place a given set of two-dimensional polygons within a rectangular container so that no …

Polynomial chaos expansion of random coefficients and the solution of stochastic partial differential equations in the tensor train format

S Dolgov, BN Khoromskij, A Litvinenko… - SIAM/ASA Journal on …, 2015 - SIAM
We apply the tensor train (TT) decomposition to construct the tensor product polynomial
chaos expansion (PCE) of a random field, to solve the stochastic elliptic diffusion PDE with …

Efficient multi-robot motion planning for unlabeled discs in simple polygons

A Adler, M De Berg, D Halperin, K Solovey - Algorithmic Foundations of …, 2015 - Springer
We consider the following motion-planning problem: we are given mm unit discs in a simple
polygon with nn vertices, each at their own start position, and we want to move the discs to a …

[HTML][HTML] Median trajectories

K Buchin, M Buchin, M Van Kreveld, M Löffler… - Algorithmica, 2013 - Springer
We investigate the concept of a median among a set of trajectories. We establish criteria that
a “median trajectory” should meet, and present two different methods to construct a median …

Medial axis computation for planar free–form shapes

O Aichholzer, W Aigner, F Aurenhammer, T Hackl… - Computer-Aided …, 2009 - Elsevier
We present a simple, efficient, and stable method for computing—with any desired precision—
the medial axis of simply connected planar domains. The domain boundaries are assumed …

Gospermap: Using a gosper curve for laying out hierarchical data

D Auber, C Huet, A Lambert, B Renoust… - IEEE transactions on …, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The emergence of very large hierarchies that result from the increase in available data
raises many problems of visualization and navigation. On data sets of such scale, classical …

Prototype modeling from sketched silhouettes based on convolution surfaces

CL Tai, H Zhang, JCK Fong - Computer graphics forum, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
This paper presents a hybrid method for creating three‐dimensional shapes by sketching
silhouette curves. Given a silhouette curve, we approximate its medial axis as a set of line …
