Convex Hull

2012/10/23
Convex vs. Concave

• A polygon P is convex if for every pair of


points x and y in P, the line xy is also in
P; otherwise, it is called concave.

P x y P x y

concave convex
The convex hull problem
concave polygon: convex polygon:

• The convex hull of a set of planar points is the


smallest convex polygon containing all of the
points.

Graham’s Scan
• Start at point guaranteed to be on the hull.
(the point with the minimum y value)
• Sort remaining points by polar angles of
vertices relative to the first point.
• Go through sorted points, keeping vertices
of points that have left turns and dropping
points that have right turns.

Graham’s Runtime
• Graham’s scan is O(n log n) due to initial
sort of angles.
A more detailed algorithm
Convex Hull
by Divide-and-Conquer
• First, sort all points by their x coordinate.
– ( O(n log n) time)
• Then divide and conquer:
– Find the convex hull of the left half of points.
– Find the convex hull of the right half of
points.
– Merge the two hulls into one.

Lower Tangent Example
•Initially, T=(4, 7) is only a lower
tangent for A. The A loop does
not execute, but the B loop
increments b to 11.
•But now T=(4, 11) is no longer
a lower tangent for A, so the A
loop decrements a to 0.
•T=(0, 11) is not a lower
tangent for B, so b is
incremented to 12.
• T=(0, 12) is a lower tangent
for both A and B, and T is
returned.
