SafeHull

SafeHull is a computer algorithm that helps analyze 3D point cloud data—collections of millions of points representing an object or environment. It creates a tight, efficient boundary around the data, similar to wrapping a string around an object to define its shape. This ensures that the boundary contains all relevant points while excluding noise or irrelevant data. SafeHull is useful in applications like robotics and mapping, where accurately defining an object's shape is important for navigation, analysis, and decision-making, all while preventing the inclusion of false or extraneous information.
