🎯 Computational Geometry Algorithms Library - Java Implementation
🚀 Overview
A comprehensive collection of industry-grade computational geometry algorithms implemented in Java with 100% working code, detailed line-by-line comments, complete dry runs, and production-ready optimizations.
📊 Implemented Algorithms
Rotating Calipers (O(n) Convex Hull Diameter)
✅ Computes maximum distance between any 2 hull points
✅ Antipodal pairs via rotating parallel calipers
✅ Handles squares, triangles, and rectangles perfectly
✅ Distance squared output (no floating-point errors)
Sample: Square → diameter² = 2 (diagonal √2) ✓
Line Segment Intersection (O(1))
✅ Parametric equations with cross-product solving
✅ Handles parallel, collinear, T-junctions, endpoints
✅ Returns exact intersection coordinates
✅ Robust floating-point comparison (1e-9 epsilon)
Sample: (0,0)-(3,3) ∩ (0,3)-(3,0) = (1.5,1.5) ✓
Closest Pair of Points - Divide & Conquer (O(n log n))
✅ Sorts by x & y coordinates (Px, Py arrays)
✅ Strip optimization: only check 7 neighbors
✅ Geometric proof: 2δ×2δ box holds max 8 points
✅ Handles collinear, squares, general position
Sample: 6 points → min distance √2 between (2,3),(3,4) ✓
Delaunay Triangulation - Incremental Flip (O(n log n) avg)
✅ SuperTriangle initialization
✅ In-circle test (determinant-based)
✅ Recursive edge flipping for Delaunay property
✅ Point location via walking
✅ Complete neighbor management
Sample: 4 points → 2 optimal triangles ✓
Gift Wrapping (Jarvis March) - Convex Hull (O(nh))
✅ Starts at leftmost point
✅ Polar angle minimization via cross-product
✅ Handles collinear points (farthest selection)
✅ Counterclockwise hull output
Sample: 7 points → 6-point convex hull ✓
