Abstract
Abstract The determination of the geometry of the swept volume of a moving object is one of the essential steps in applications such as verifying numerical control tool path and collision avoidance. This paper presents an initial step of a general solution to this complex problem. A two-dimensional version of the solution is explained in detail and the implementation is discussed. Specifically, the following problem is solved: Given a polygonal body B and a parameterized configuration specifying its position and orientation for time tϵ [0,1], what is the boundary of the swept area generated by moving B ? The boundary is represented as a sequence of points in the order they are encountered when the boundary is traversed.
