| Abstract | In this paper, we study the problem of finding Euclidean shortest paths among curved obstacles in the plane. We model curved obstacles as splinegons. A splinegon can be viewed as replacing each edge of a polygon by a convex curved edge, and each curved edge is assumed to be of O(1) complexity. Given in the plane two points s and t and a set of h pairwise disjoint splinegons with a total of n vertices, we present an algorithm that can compute a shortest path from s to t avoiding the splinegons in $O(n+hlog^{ε}h+k)$ time for any ε>0, where k is a parameter sensitive to the input splinegons and $k=O(h^{2}).$ If all splinegons are convex, a common tangent of two splinegons is "free" if it does not intersect the interior of any splingegon; our techniques yield an output sensitive algorithm for computing all free common tangents of the h splinegons in O(n+hlogh+k) time and O(n) working space, where k is the number of all free common tangents. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
