Abstract

Computational geometry underpins numerous scientific and engineering domains, including GIS, robotics, computer graphics, CAD, and astronomy.Foundational algorithms such as convex hulls, intersection tests, and point-in-polygon queries are covered in standard texts (Berg et al., 2008); however, robust and efficient implementations are crucial for real-world applications where numerical robustness and performance matter.
