Popis: For a set P of n points in the plane, we present algorithms for finding two bounded convex sets that cover P such that the total area or perimeter of the convex sets is minimized in O ( n 4 log ⁡ n ) and O ( n 2 log ⁡ n ) time, respectively. The former is the first result for minimum total area, and the latter is an improvement on the fastest previous algorithm for minimum total perimeter, which runs in O ( n 3 ) time [24] . We also extend our algorithms to find k ⩾ 2 convex sets minimizing area in O ( n 2 k ( k − 1 ) log ⁡ n ) time. The algorithms can be applied to detect road intersections from the GPS trajectories of moving vehicles for automated map generation or partial clustering.
