Minimum bounding box
![A series of geometric shapes enclosed by its minimum bounding box (in 2 dimensions)](/Images/godic/202501/27/Minimum_bounding_rectangle.svg3303.png")
In geometry, the minimum or smallest bounding or enclosing box for a point set (S) in N dimensions is the box with the smallest measure (area, volume, or hypervolume in higher dimensions) within which all the points lie. When other kinds of measure are used, the minimum box is usually called accordingly, e.g., "minimum-perimeter bounding box".
