CGAL 5.0 - Intersecting Sequences of dD Iso-oriented Boxes
|
The function box_intersection_all_pairs_d()
computes the pairwise intersecting boxes between two sequences of iso-oriented boxes in arbitrary dimension.
It does so by comparing all possible pairs of boxes and is thus inferior to the fast box_intersection_d()
algorithm.
The sequences of boxes are given with two forward iterator ranges. The sequences are not modified. For each intersecting pair of boxes a callback
function object is called with the two intersecting boxes as argument; the first argument is a box from the first sequence, the second argument a box from the second sequence.
The algorithm is interface compatible with the box_intersection_d()
function. Similarly, we call the value_type
of the iterators the box handle, which is either our box type or a pointer type to our box type.
A \( d\)-dimensional iso-oriented box is defined as the Cartesian product of \( d\) intervals. We call the box half-open if the \( d\) intervals \( \{ [lo_i,hi_i) \,|\, 0 \leq i < d\}\) are half-open intervals, and we call the box closed if the \( d\) intervals \( \{ [lo_i,hi_i] \,|\, 0 \leq i < d\}\) are closed intervals. Note that closed boxes support zero-width boxes and they can intersect at their boundaries, while non-empty half-open boxes always have a positive volume and they only intersect iff their interiors overlap. The distinction between closed or half-open boxes does not require a different representation of boxes, just a different interpretation when comparing boxes, which is selected with the topology
parameter and its two values, Box_intersection_d::HALF_OPEN
and Box_intersection_d::CLOSED
.
In addition, a box has a unique id
-number. Boxes with equal id
-number are not reported since they obviously intersect trivially.
The algorithm uses a traits class of the BoxIntersectionTraits_d
concept to access the boxes. A default traits class is provided that assumes that the box type is a model of the BoxIntersectionBox_d
concept and that the box handle, i.e., the iterators value type, is identical to the box type or a pointer to the box type.
An important special application of this algorithm is the test for self-intersections where the second box sequence is an identical copy of the first sequence including the preserved id
-number. We offer a specialized implementation box_self_intersection_all_pairs_d()
for this application.
Requirements
ForwardIterator1
, and \( \ldots\) 2
, must meet the requirements of ForwardIterator
and both value types must be the same. We call this value type Box_handle
in the following. Callback
must be of the BinaryFunction
concept. The Box_handle
must be convertible to both argument types. The return type is not used and can be void
. Box_handle
must be a model of the Assignable
concept. Box_handle
must be a class type T
or a pointer to a class type T
, where T
must be a model of the BoxIntersectionBox_d
concept. In both cases, the default box traits specializes to a suitable implementation. BoxTraits
must be of the BoxIntersectionTraits_d
concept. CGAL::box_intersection_d()

Implementation
The algorithm is trivially testing all pairs and runs therefore in time \( O(nm)\) where \( n\) is the size of the first sequence and \( m\) is the size of the second sequence.
