Abstract
Embodiments may include systems and methods for visualizing a positional probability of a plurality of objects in space. According to one embodiment, a method may be provided for visualizing a positional probability of a plurality of objects in space. The method may include receiving, by a computing system comprising one or more processors, an initial position for each of the plurality of objects at a given time. The method may further include determining a non-convex boundary around the plurality of objects. The method may additionally include generating a three-dimensional representation of the positional probability of the objects in space, based on the non-convex boundary.
Claims20
A method for visualizing a positional probability of a plurality of objects in space, comprising:
- receiving, by a computing system comprising one or more processors, an initial position for each of the plurality of objects at a given time;
- determining, by the computing system, a non-convex boundary around the plurality of objects;
- and
- generating, by the computing system, a three-dimensional representation of the positional probability of the objects in space based on the non-convex boundary.
A system for visualizing a positional probability of a plurality of objects in space, comprising:
- at least one memory for storing computer-executable instructions;
- and
- at least one processor in communication with the at least one memory, the processor configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
- receive an initial position for each of the plurality of objects at a given time;
- determine a non-convex boundary around the plurality of objects;
- and
- generate a three-dimensional representation of the positional probability of the objects in space based on the non-convex boundary.
A computer program product comprising a computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions embodied therein, the computer-executable instructions when executed by at least one processor perform the operations comprising:
- receiving, by a computing system comprising one or more processors, an initial position for each of a plurality of objects at a given time;
- determining, by the computing system, a non-convex boundary around the plurality of objects;
- and
- generating, by the computing system, a three-dimensional representation of the positional probability of the objects based on the non-convex boundary.
