Salzburg Database of Polygonal Data: Polygons and Their Generators

Area of Science:

• Computational geometry
• Data structures
• Geometric modeling

Background:

• The need for standardized datasets in geometric research.
• Challenges in generating complex polygonal shapes.

Purpose of the Study:

• To introduce the Salzburg Database, a novel repository of polygonal areas.
• To describe the methods used for generating these polygons.
• To ensure public accessibility of the database and its generators.

Main Methods:

• Development of algorithms for generating polygonal areas with varying complexity (e.g., holes).
• Assignment of positive weights to all polygon edges.
• Implementation of source codes for polygon generation.

Main Results:

• A comprehensive database of polygonal areas, including diverse classes and sizes.
• Availability of source codes for all polygon generators.
• Publicly accessible repository of generated polygons.

Conclusions:

• The Salzburg Database provides a valuable resource for researchers in computational geometry and related fields.
• The open availability of generators and data promotes reproducibility and further research.
