System and method for offsetting and smoothing of planar region boundaries defined by arbitrary parametric curves

A system, comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the instructions to cause the system to:
• provide an identified boundary set comprising a plurality of boundary curves;
• develop a target minimum offset distance;
• develop a target minimum offset width;
• create an offset boundary curve for each boundary curve of the plurality of boundary curves;
• perform a smoothing operation on offset boundary curves;
• and
• combine the offset boundary curves to define a set of offset boundary curves.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising machine-readable instructions for causing a processor to execute a method, the method comprising:

• providing a plurality of inputs for an identified boundary set, the plurality of inputs comprising:
• providing an identified boundary set comprising a plurality of boundary curves;
• developing a target minimum offset distance;
• developing a target minimum offset width;
• creating an offset boundary curve for each boundary curve of the plurality of boundary curves;
• smoothing offset boundary curves;
• and
• combining the offset boundary curves to define a set of offset boundary curves.
