Since then, connections to diverse areas in the sciences and engineering have developed, including to pattern recognition, digital shape sampling and processing, and structural molecular biology. This survey begins with a historical account and discusses geometric, algorithmic, topological, and combinatorial aspects of alpha shapes in this sequence."}],"author":[{"orcid":"0000-0002-9823-6833","id":"3FB178DA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Edelsbrunner","full_name":"Edelsbrunner, Herbert","first_name":"Herbert"}],"publist_id":"3329","file_date_updated":"2022-05-24T07:55:05Z","citation":{"short":"H.
