Translating concave hull algorithm to c#
So I am trying to translate the algorith found here for concave hulls: http://repositorium.sdum.uminho.pt/bitstream/1822/6429/1/ConcaveHull_ACM_MYS.pdf
(Page 65)
Ive read through the entire thing but I cant figure out how to implement sortByAngle and angle, im not to sure what method I should do inside of them. This is what I have so far:
//Main method
public static Vertex[] ConcaveHull(Vertex[] points, int k = 3)
{
if (k < 3)
throw new ArgumentException("K is required to be 3 or more", "k");
List<Vertex> hull = new List<Vertex>();
//Clean first, may have lots of duplicates
Vertex[] clean = RemoveDuplicates(points);
if (clean.Length < 3)
throw new ArgumentException("At least 3 dissimilar points reqired", "points");
if (clean.Length == 3)//This is the hull, its already as small as it can be.
return clean;
if (clean.Length < k)
throw new ArgumentException("K must be equal to or smaller then the amount of dissimilar points", "points");
Vertex firstPoint = clean[0]; //TODO find mid point
hull.Add(firstPoint);
Vertex currentPoint = firstPoint;
Vertex[] dataset = RemoveIndex(clean, 0);
double previousAngle = 0;
int step = 2;
int i;
while (((currentPoint != firstPoint) || (step == 2)) && (dataset.Length > 0))
{
if (step == 5)
dataset = Add(dataset, firstPoint);
Vertex[] kNearestPoints = nearestPoints(dataset, currentPoint, k);
Vertex[] cPoints = sortByAngle(kNearestPoints, currentPoint, previousAngle);
bool its = true;
i = 0;
while ((its) && (i < cPoints.Length))
{
i++;
int lastPoint = 0;
if (cPoints[0] == firstPoint)
lastPoint = 1;
int j = 2;
its = false;
while ((!its) && (j < hull.Count - lastPoint))
{
its = intersectsQ(hull[step - 1 - 1], cPoints[0], hull[step - i - j - 1], hull[step - j - 1]);
j++;
}
}
if (its)
{
return ConcaveHull(points, k + 1);
}
currentPoint = cPoints[0];
hull.Add(currentPoint);
previousAngle = angle(hull[step - 1], hull[step - 2]);
dataset = RemoveIndex(dataset, 0);
step++;
}
bool allInside = true;
i = dataset.Length;
while (allInside && i > 0)
{
allInside = new Polygon(dataset).Contains(currentPoint); //TODO havent finished ray casting yet.
i--;
}
if (!allInside)
return ConcaveHull(points, k + 1);

I know that there is a load of code here. But im not sure if I can show the context and what I have without it.

Answer
Just a note on convention: you should start function names with upper case, and variables with lower case. In the function sortByAngle, you have a reference to the parameter angle and the function angle simultaneously.
Assuming Angle(...) is simply meant to calculate the angle between two points:
private static double Angle(Vertex v1, Vertex v2)
{
return Math.Atan2(v2.Y - v1.Y, v2.X - v1.X);
}
will give you the angle from v1 to v2, in radians between -pi and +pi. Do not mix degrees and radians. My suggestion is to always use radians, and only convert to degrees if necessary for human-readable output.
private static Vertex[] SortByAngle(Vertex[] vs, Vertex v, double angle)
{
List<Vertex> vertList = new List<Vertex>(vs);
vertList.Sort((v1, v2) => AngleDifference(angle, Angle(v, v1)).CompareTo(AngleDifference(angle, Angle(v, v2))));
return vertList.ToArray();
}
uses List.Sort to sort the vertices from greatest to least angle difference between the vertices point and itself, and angle. The order of v1 and v2 are swapped in the input tuple to sort descending, that is, greatest difference first. The difference between angles is calculated like so:
private static double AngleDifference(double a, double b)
{
while (a < b - Math.PI) a += Math.PI * 2;
while (b < a - Math.PI) b += Math.PI * 2;
return Math.Abs(a - b);
}
The first two lines ensure that the angles are not more than 180 degrees apart.
