I have a problem and would appreciate some pointers. In short, I have a solid which is produced by revolving a 2D polyline around an axis, thus producing a solid of revolution. Now:
1) Is there some shortcut to computing its medial axis, by computing the medial axis of the 2D polyline?
2) If we put some lower bound to the sphere radii which are produced by the medial axis transform (thus approximating the solid), what is the volume produced, with respect to that lower radius?
Thanks!
