Detailed Description

Constructs the Largest Empty Circle for a set of obstacle geometries, up to a specified tolerance. The obstacles are point and line geometries.

The Largest Empty Circle is the largest circle which has its center in the convex hull of the obstacles (the boundary), and whose interior does not intersect with any obstacle. The circle center is the point in the interior of the boundary which has the farthest distance from the obstacles (up to tolerance). The circle is determined by the center point and a point lying on an obstacle indicating the circle radius.

The implementation uses a successive-approximation technique over a grid of square cells covering the obstacles and boundary. The grid is refined using a branch-and-bound algorithm. Point containment and distance are computed in a performant way by using spatial indexes.
