About

The minimum bounding box of a point set is the same as the minimum bounding box of its convex hull, a fact which may be used heuristically to speed up computation.

The minimum bounding box of a point set is the same as the minimum bounding box of its convex hull.

Type

Axis Aligned

The axis-aligned minimum bounding box (or AABB) for a given point set is its minimum bounding box subject to the constraint that the edges of the box are parallel to the (Cartesian) coordinate axes.

Arbitrarily oriented

The arbitrarily oriented minimum bounding box is the minimum bounding box, calculated subject to no constraints as to the orientation of the result.

Object oriented

The object has its own local coordinate system and the bounding box coordinates are relative to these axes.
