Abstract

Relative convex hulls have been suggested for multigrid-convergent surface area estimation. Besides the existence of a convergence theorem there is no efficient algorithmic solution so far for calculating 3D relative convex hulls. This article discusses an approximative solution based on minimum-length polygon calculations. It is illustrated that this approximative calculation also proves (experimentally) to provide a multigrid convergent measurement.
