Convex hull algorithms is very simple. The leftmost vertex is on the convex hull and we denote it formula_6. The second point is assumed to be a candidate convex hull vertex as well. At each step one looks at three consecutive vertices of the polygon, with two first ones tentatively assigned to the growing convex hull and the third one is a new unprocessed vertex of the polygon, say, we denote this as formula_7. If the angle is convex, then formula_8 and the whole triple is shifted by one vertex along the polygon. If the resulting angle is concave, then the middle point
Focal cloud antennas might benefit from minor deformation, producing a footprint encompassing satellite tidal motion. Focal cloud A focal cloud is the collection of focal points of an "imperfect" lens or parabolic reflector whether optical, electrostatic or electromagnetic. This includes parabolic antennas and lens-type reflective antennas of all kinds. The effect is analogous to the circle of confusion in photography. In a perfect lens or parabolic reflector, rays parallel to the device's axis striking the lens or reflector all pass through a single point, the focal point. In an imperfectly constructed lens or reflector, rays passing through different parts of the element
