Abstract:Let P be a crossing-free polygon and C a set of shortcuts, where each shortcut is a directed straight-line segment connecting two vertices of P . A shortcut hull of P is another crossing-free polygon that encloses P and whose oriented boundary is composed of elements from C. Shortcut hulls find their application in geo-related problems such as the simplification of contour lines. We aim at a shortcut hull that linearly balances the enclosed area and perimeter. If no holes in the shortcut hull are allowed, the … Show more
