Efficient distance calculation using the spherically-extended polytope (s-tope) model
Abstract
An object representation scheme which allows for Euclidean distance calculation is presented. The object model extends the polytope model by representing objects as the convex hull of a finite set of spheres. An algorithm for calculating distances between objects is developed which is linear in the total number of spheres specifying the two objects.
