Title
INNER-COVER OF NON-CONVEX SHAPES
Abstract
Visibility methods are often based on the existence of large con- vex occluders. We present an algorithm that for a given simple non-convex polygon P finds an approximate inner-cover by large convex polygons. The algorithm is based on an initial partitioning of P into a set C of disjoint convex polygons which are an exact tessellation of P. The algorithm then builds a set of large convex polygons contained in P by constructing the convex hulls of sub- sets of C. We discuss different strategies for selecting the subsets and we claim that in most cases our algorithm produces an effective approximation of P.
