Covering Rectilinear Polygons with Axis-Parallel Rectangles
We give an O( log n) factor approximation algorithm for covering a rectilinear polygon with holes using axis-parallel rectangles. This is the first polynomial time approximation a...

An optimal polygonal boundary encoding scheme in the rate distortion sense
—In this paper, we present fast and efficient methods for the lossy encoding of object boundaries that are given as eight-connect chain codes. We approximate the boundary by a p...

Decomposing Polygons Into Diameter Bounded Components
A decomposition of a polygon P is a set of polygons whose geometric union is exactly P. We consider the problem of decomposing a polygon, which may contain holes, using subpolygon...

Character Feature Extraction Using Polygonal Projection Sweep (Contour Detection)
It is presented in this paper a new approach to the problem of feature extraction. The approach is based on the edge detection, where a set of feature vectors is taken from the sou...

On distinct distances from a vertex of a convex polygon
Given a set P of n points in convex position in the plane, we prove that there exists a point p ∈ P such that the number of distinct distances from p is at least (13n−6)/36 . ...
