地形的eps近似算法

Algorithms for eps-approximations of Terrains

Jeff M. Phillips

摘要:

考虑一个点集D,其测度函数为w:D -> R。设A是D的子集的集合,这些子集是由来自某些几何族的形状(例如轴对齐的矩形、半平面、球、k-定向多边形)中的包含引起的。我们说一个值域空间(D,A)有eps-逼近P,如果max {R \in A}| w(R \cap P)/w(P)- w(R \cap D)/w(D)|<= eps.我们描述的算法,确定性地构建离散eps连续点集,如分布或地形近似。此外,对于子集A的某些族,例如由轴对齐的矩形描述的那些族,我们将eps近似的大小从O(1/eps^2 log 1/eps)减少到O(1/eps polylog 1/eps)。这通常是将连续问题转化为离散问题的第一步,可以应用组合技术。我们描述了这一结果在地理空间分析,生物监测和传感器网络中的应用。

英文摘要:

Consider a point set D with a measure function w : D -> R. Let A be the set of subsets of D induced by containment in a shape from some geometric family (e.g. axis-aligned rectangles, half planes, balls, k-oriented polygons). We say a range space (D, A) has an eps-approximation P if max {R \in A} | w(R \cap P)/w(P) - w(R \cap D)/w(D) | <= eps. We describe algorithms for deterministically constructing discrete eps-approximations for continuous point sets such as distributions or terrains. Furthermore, for certain families of subsets A, such as those described by axis-aligned rectangles, we reduce the size of the eps-approximations by almost a square root from O(1/eps^2 log 1/eps) to O(1/eps polylog 1/eps). This is often the first step in transforming a continuous problem into a discrete one for which combinatorial techniques can be applied. We describe applications of this result in geo-spatial analysis, biosurveillance, and sensor networks.
