Abstract: this paper is to define the
notion of polyhedral tracings, which extends the classical
notion of a polyhedron in exactly the same way
a polygonal tracing extends the notion of a polygon.
We also define the convolution B R of two polyhedral
tracings B and R and show that it has the same
desirable properties as in two dimensions. The technical
challenge in getting this theory to work lies in how
to extend normal polyhedra into tracings and, less obviously
but equally importantly, how to orient... (Update)
.... and Related Results The algorithm HeapSweep was developed in the context of a theory of polyhedral tracings and their convolution [6]. In a few words, one obtains the convolution of two polyhedra (a red and a blue) by first computing their geometric duals, projecting these...
...polygonal line of length k can be performed in O(log k) time. A theory of polyhedral tracings and their convolution is introduced in [1]. An interesting question there is whether the relationship between the convolution and the Minkowski sum explored in this paper can be...
