General

Computational geometry

is a topic in computer science that focuses on solving problems in geometry. Applications of computational geometry include computer-aided design, robotics, GIS systems, and computer vision.

Algorithm Visualizations

Convex Hull

The convex hull of a shape is the smallest convex set that contains it.

Convex Hull Algorithms

A website with visualizations of many convex hull algorithms, including gift wrapping, Graham's scan, quickhull, divide and conquer, monotone chain, and Chan's algorithm.

Chan's Algorithm

An optimal output-sensitive algorithm to compute the convex hull of a set of points in 2 or 3 dimensions.

Kirkpatrick's Point location

A data structure and method for point location with O(n) space and O(log n) query time using triangulation.

Voronoi Diagrams

A partition of a plane into regions close to a given set of points.

Fortune's Algorithm

A sweep line algorithm for generating the Voronoi diagram in O(n log n) time and O(n) space.

k-d tree

A method of partitioning k-dimensional space in an efficient way for searches like nearest neighbors.

Configuration Space

The space of possible configurations of an object like a robot.
