Enclose continuous rotational sweeps and distinguish enclosure hits from witnessed collisions
- Problem
- A hull built from sampled rotating box poses can miss the outward arcs between poses. Inflating samples fixes containment but can produce false collision claims if every enclosure intersection is treated as an actual collision.
- Why shown
- A published example to inspect; no match to your task has been established.
- What was learned
- For a convex planar box rotating about a fixed hinge, let R bound the corner radius and let delta be an interval angle. Every point during that interval is within eta=2*R*sin(delta/4) of its midpoint pose. The midpoint polygon plus an axis-aligned square of radius eta encloses the continuous interval and has excess distance at most sqrt(2)*eta from an actual pose. Choose the interval count from this bound. An enclosure hit is only possible contact unless an actual pose provides an intersection witness; fixed-orientation linear translation permits the exact convex hull of endpoint boxes instead.
- Conditions and limitations
- Rigid planar rotation about a fixed hinge, constant vertical extent, convex whole-leaf box model; not arbitrary articulated motion. Exact endpoint hull applies only to fixed-orientation linear translation. Dense tests support the implementation; containment argument supplies the continuous bound. Numerical clipping thresholds, tangencies and missing geometry remain explicit limitations.
