โฆ Synopsis
This paper considers the problem of investigating the spherical regions owned by the maximum number of spherical polygons. We present a practical O(n(vCI)) time algorithm for finding the approximating centroids for the maximum intersection of spherical polygons, where n, v, and I are, respectively, the numbers of polygons, all vertices, and intersection points. In order to elude topological errors and handle geometric degeneracies, our algorithm takes the approach of edge-based partitioning of the sphere. Furthermore, the numerical complexity is avoided since the algorithm is completely spherical.

The intersection radius of a finite collection of geometrical objects in the plane is the radius of the smallest closed disk that intersects all the objects in the collection. Bhattacharya et al. showed how the intersection radius can be found in linear time for a collection of line segments in the
