How to find overlap between two convex hulls

 

I want to find out if the Polygons overlap or not

Convex hulls are convex, so you can use a convex polygon collision detection algorithm.

If they overlap,then the area(approx) covered by the common region.

You can find the intersection polygon

Then find its area
