Abstract
One embodiment is directed to a computer program, embodied on a computer readable medium. The computer program is configured to control a processor to execute instructions. The instructions include sampling a plurality of points that lie within the interior of an arbitrary shape, drawing one or more rectangles from each of the points, gradually increasing the length and width of the rectangles until the rectangles no longer falls within the interior of the arbitrary shape, and assigning the largest of the increased rectangles as the interior bounding box.
