Computing Exact Closed-Form Distance Distributions in Arbitrarily Shaped Polygons with Arbitrary Reference Point

We propose and implement an algorithm to compute the exact cumulative density function (CDF) of the distance from an arbitrary reference point to a randomly located node within an arbitrarily shaped (convex or concave) simple polygon. Using this result, we also obtain the closed-form probability density function (PDF) of the Euclidean distance between an arbitrary … Continue reading Computing Exact Closed-Form Distance Distributions in Arbitrarily Shaped Polygons with Arbitrary Reference Point
