In this paper we study a problem related to the classical Erdos--Szekeres Theorem on finding points in convex position in planar point sets. We study for which n and k there exists a number h(n,k) such that in every planar point set X of size h(n,k) or larger, no three points on a line, we can find n points forming a vertex set of a convex n-gon with at most k points of X in its interior. Recall that h(n,0) does not exist for n = 7 by a result of Horton. In this paper we prove the following results. First, using Horton's construction with no empty 7-gon we obtain that h(n,k) does not exist for k = 2(n+6)/4-n-3. Then we give some exact results for convex hexagons: every point set containing a convex hexagon contains a convex hexagon with at most seven points inside it, and any such set of at least 19 points contains a convex hexagon with at most five points inside it.

Set Of Points

Given a set of n points in the plane, we consider the problem of computing the circular ordering of the points about a viewpoint q and efficiently maintaining this ordering information as q moves. In linear space, and after O(n log n) preprocessing time, our solution maintains the view at a cost of O( log n) amortized time (resp.O( log 2 n) worst case time) for each change. Our algorithm can also be used to maintain the set of points sorted according to their distance to q .

A subset A of a finite set P of points in the plane is called an empty polygon, if each point of A is a vertex of the convex hull of A and the convex hull of A contains no other points of P. We construct a set of n points in general position in the plane with only ˜1.62n2 empty triangles, ˜1.94n2 empty quadrilaterals, ˜1.02n2 empty pentagons, and ˜0.2n2 empty hexagons.

Pattern Matching Algorithm

Point pattern matching is an important topic of computer vision and pattern recognition. In this paper, we propose a point pattern matching algorithm for two planar point sets under Euclidean transform. We view a point set as a complete graph, establish the relation between the point set and the complete graph, and solve the point pattern matching problem by finding congruent complete graphs. Experiments are conducted to show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed algorithm.
