A problem of combinatorial geometry is discussed: Cover a finite set of points lying on an integer grid in the Euclidean plane by regular rectangles such that the total area, circumference and number of rectangles used is minimized. This problem seems to be NP-hard, which is surely the case for rela
We consider the following clustering problem. Given a set S of II points in the plane, and given an integer k, n/2 < k < n, we want to find the smallest axis parallel rectangle (smallest perimeter or area) that encloses exactly k points of S. We present an algorithm which runs in time 0( n + k( n -k
Decomposing complex patterns into standardized geometric areas is essential for many pattern recognition and CAD applications 7"2. The decomposition of polygons into rectangles is studied in the paper. An algorithm that covers convex polygons by rectangles is presented. The algorithm works in two st
