  • Abstract
    In this paper we present an algorithm for estimating the rotation index of a closed loop from the number of singular points on it. On the basis of this index we also devise a procedure that guarantees to have an arbitrary loop being traced only once. Combining this procedure with a higher-order stepping algorithm, a robust intersection technique is resulted
