Topologically, the convex hull of an open set is always itself open, and the convex hull of a compact set is always itself compact; however, there exist closed sets that do not have closed convex hulls. 2003; Fleishman et al.

The convex hull of a set Q of points is the smallest convex polygon P for which each point in Q is either on the boundary of P or in its interior. holes in an intuitive manner, as can be observed in figure 1.

Compared with traditional boundary-based approaches such as convex hulls based methods and one-class support vector machines, the proposed approach can better reflect the true geometry of target data and needs little effort for parameter tuning. However, if we want to integrate only the unit sphere, i.e., r2 θµϕν, we need several thousand surface elements to obtain sphere of radius \(r\) centered at the point \(q=p_i+r\,n_i\), negative
