Item On the Area of Overlap of Translated Polygons(1998-10-15) Mount, David M.; Silverman, Ruth; Wu, Angela Y.(Also cross-referenced as CAR-TR-699) Given two simple polygons P and Q in the plane and a translation vector t E R2, the area-oJ-overlap function of P and Q is the function Ar(t) = Area(P n (t + Q)), where t + Q denotes Q translated by t. This function has a number of applications in areas such as motion planning and object recognition. We present a number of mathematical results regarding this function. We also provide efficient algorithms for computing a representation of this function, and for tracing contour curves of constant area of o verlap.
