1. A method comprising:

smoothing at least one offset, wherein the smoothing is based on at least one of: a computed blend arc radius and a prior computed blend arc radius with a stepover;

determining trochoidal areas based on the smoothed at least one offset being a valid narrow area, wherein the valid narrow area is formed based on at least two or more blend arcs and partial offsets between blend arcs;

determining a grouping of the smoothed at least one offset;

sorting the determined grouping of the smoothed at least one offset based on a set of attributes associated with the offset, wherein the set of attributes comprises an adjacent relationship of a set of offsets, wherein the adjacent relationship of offsets is at least one of: a relationship between two adjacent closed offsets, a relationship between two adjacent open offsets, and a relationship between two adjacent closed offsets and open offsets, and wherein determining a grouping of the smoothed at least one offset is based on grouping separately in different groups the open offsets and the closed offsets; and

generating a complete tool path of a pocket based on connecting the sorted smoothed at least one offset via trochoidal movements inside the determined trochoidal areas.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

milling a pocket region of a workpiece based on the generated complete tool path of a pocket.

3.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein sorting the determined grouping of the smoothed at least one offset is further based on a distance between a first offset in the grouping to the boundaries of the pocket.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a tree structure is used to manage connection orders among closed offsets in the pocket.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein determining a grouping of the smoothed at least one offset is further based on grouping of closed offsets in which each consecutive two closed offsets are adjacent.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the procedure ends if there are no un-connected pockets.

8. A device comprising:

a processor having addressable memory, the processor configured to:

smooth at least one offset, wherein the smoothing is based on at least one of: a computed blend arc radius and a prior computed blend arc radius with a stepover;

determine trochoidal areas based on the smoothed at least one offset being a valid narrow area, wherein the valid narrow area is formed based on at least two or more blend arcs and partial offsets between blend arcs;

determine a grouping of the smoothed at least one offset;

sort the determined grouping of the smoothed at least one offset based on a set of attributes associated with the offset, wherein the set of attributes comprises an adjacent relationship of a set of offsets, wherein the adjacent relationship of offsets is at least one of: a relationship between two adjacent closed offsets, a relationship between two adjacent open offsets, and a relationship between two adjacent closed offsets and open offsets, and wherein determining a grouping of the smoothed at least one offset is based on grouping separately in different groups the open offsets and the closed offsets; and

generate a complete tool path of a pocket based on connecting the sorted smoothed at least one offset via trochoidal movements inside the determined trochoidal areas.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein determining a grouping of the smoothed at least one offset is further based on grouping for each open group comprising only open offsets, starting from the un-grouped offset farthest from boundaries of the pocket, followed by a set of adjacent offset nearest to the boundaries of the pocket.

11. The device of claim 8 , wherein sorting the determined grouping of the smoothed at least one offset is further based on a distance between a first offset in the grouping to the boundaries of the pocket.

12. The device of claim 8 , wherein a tree structure is used to manage connection orders among closed offsets in the pocket.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein determining a grouping of the smoothed at least one offset is further based on grouping of closed offsets in which each consecutive two closed offsets are adjacent.

14. The device of claim 8 , wherein the procedure ends if there are no un-connected pockets.

15. A device comprising:
