Engineers have long studied offset curves and surfaces, the same sets that mathematicians usually call parallel curves and surfaces. These offset curves are the paths of machine tools shaping a given surface. What the authors call scallop hull of a set \(A\) can be described in mathematical terms as the parallel set, in Hadwiger's notation, \((A_ \varrho)_{-\varrho}\). This clearly is a regularization process that eliminates narrow concavities. They present a linear time algorithm for the computation of the scallop hull. For a mathematical study of inward parallel sets see the book by \textit{H. Hadwiger} [Altes und Neues über konvexe Körper (1955; Zbl 0064.165)] and some of Hadwiger's papers.
