Abstract

In this paper, we have presented a new method for computing the best-fitted rectangle for closed regions using their boundary points. The vertices of the best-fitted rectangle are computed using a bisection method starting with the upper-estimated rectangle and the under-estimated rectangle. The vertices of the upper- and under-estimated rectangles are directly computed using closed-form solutions by solving for pairs of straight lines. Starting with these two rectangles, we solve for the best-fitted rectangle iteratively using a bisection method. The algorithm stops when the areas of the fitted rectangles remain unchanged during consecutive iterations. Extensive evaluation of our algorithm demonstrates its effectiveness.
