Find All Collinear Points - A Pattern Recognition Problem
The Line Patterns Recognition A basic but important application of pattern recognition is to recognize line patterns in a given set of points. http://coursera.cs.princeton.edu/algs4/assignments/collinear.html. This blog will give a breif introduction to this problem and provide an enfficient solution. Codes available in algs4/collinear/src/ The problem could be described as: Given a set of n distinct points in the plane, find every (maximal) line segment that connects a subset of 4 or more of the points....
