Abstract :
On the basis of the concept of right-shell-tree and left-shell-tree, a fast convex hull algorithm for scattered points based on a binary tree is put forward. It can dynamically reduce the scale of scattered point rapidly by removing a number of non-convex hull vertexes while finding each convex hull vertex. Normally, it can achieve linear time complexity. The algorithm obviates the judging process of the convex hull vertices´ connected relation. It is applicable to any complex scattered points, and simple and easy to achieve.
