Abstract
As an addition to proper points of the real plane, we introduce a representation of improper points, i.e. points at infinity, in terms of Geometric Algebra for Conics (GAC) and offer possible use of both types of points. More precisely, we present two algorithms fitting a conic to a dataset with a certain number of points lying on the conic precisely, referred to as the waypoints. Furthermore, we consider inclusion of one or two improper waypoints, which leads to the asymptotic directions of the fitted conic. The number of used waypoints may be up to four and we classify all the cases.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
