The algorithm is based on a three step reduction of the volume integrals

the numerical errors that can result from poorly conditioned alignment of
polyhedral faces. It is also designed for efficiency. All required volume
integrals of a polyhedron are computed together during a single walk over
the boundary of the polyhedron; exploiting common subexpressions reduces
floating point operations.
