Hello,

This looks like a work for alpha-shapes. As you can imagine, the "strangeness" of some points is hard to define, but playing around with these shapes can be very interesting. Keep in mind there is a crucial parameter, alpha, and carefully read the (excellent) documentation:

http://www.cgal.org/Manual/latest/doc_html/cgal_manual/Alpha_shapes_3/Chapter_main.html

Good luck,

Daniel

Hi all,

I am writing to this list because here there are a lot of expert
professionals in different geometric algorithms. Is there an algorithm
in CGAL to obtain the oposite of the convex hull? For example, I have
a 2D set of points (see attached image) and I want to obtain the
maximal convex polygon, which has the highest number of points on the
border. Concretely, I want to remove the points that do strange things
at the border (points inside ellipses).

Best regards
Juan Carlos
