While doing all of this work on convex hulls, it occurred to me that I
could also use convex hulls to define the shapes of my perceptual fields.
Then I could test whether or not an agent is within another agent’s
perceptual field by checking to see of the point (or points) representing
the agent was in inside or outside the convex hull Here’s a
response that suggests how to do this- figure out which side of each of
the planes of the hull the point is on. And here’s
another summary of a bunch of posts on this topic. I find the replies a
bit heavy going, but for now I am satisfied to know that it is, in fact,
possible to determine whether or not a point lies inside or outside a
polyhedron.
