In this paper, we propose an improved method to represent rectilinear block packing based on O-Tree representation. Also, we propose a decoding algorithm to obtain a rectilinear block packing in O((c + 1)n) time, where n and c are the number of rectangular sub-blocks and concave blocks respectively. Note that the proposed algorithm requires only O(n) time when c is constant, which is equal to the trivial lower bound of time complexity for decoding. The effectiveness of the proposed method was confirmed by the experimental comparisons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
