摘要
We present an algorithm that computes the convex hull of multiple rational curves in the plane. The problem is reformulated as one of finding the zero-sets of polynomial equations in one or two variables; using these zero-sets we characterize curve segments that belong to the boundary of the convex hull. We also present a preprocessing step that can eliminate many redundant curve segments. (C) 2001 Academic Press.
