The Farthest Point Delaunay Triangulation Minimizes Angles

چکیده

We show that the planar dual to the Euclidean farthest point Voronoi diagram for the set of vertices of a convex polygon has the lexicographic minimum possible sequence of triangle angles, sorted from sharpest to least sharp. As a consequence, the sharpest angle determined by three vertices of a convex polygon can be found in linear time.

Euclidean farthest-point Voronoi diagram of a digital edge

A digital edge is a digitization of a straight segment joining two points of integer coordinates. Such a digital set may be analytically defined by the rational slope of the straight segment. We show in this paper that the convex hull, the Euclidean farthest-point Voronoi diagram as well as the dual farthest-point Delaunay triangulation of a digital edge can be fully described by the continued ...

Minimal roughness property of the Delaunay triangulation: a shorter approach

Powar, P.L., Minimal roughness property of the Delaunay triangulation: a shorter approach, Computer Aided Geometric Design 9 (1992) 491-494. Recently Rippa (1990) has investigated an interesting result which states that “The Delaunay triangulation of the data points minimizes the roughness measure of a Piecewise Linear Interpolating Surface (PLISJ for any fixed set of function values”. This res...

How To Place a Point to Maximize Angles

We describe a randomized algorithm that, given a set P of points in the plane, computes the best location to insert a new point p, such that the Delaunay triangulation of P ∪ {p} has the largest possible minimum angle. The expected running time of our algorithm is at most cubic, improving the roughly quartic time of the best previously known algorithm. It slows down to slightly super-cubic if w...

Image Compression with Anisotropic Geodesic Triangulations

We propose a new image compression method based on geodesic Delaunay triangulations. Triangulations are generated by a progressive geodesic meshing algorithm which exploits the anisotropy of images through a farthest point sampling strategy. This seeding is performed according to anisotropic geodesic distances which force the anisotropic Delaunay triangles to follow the geometry of the image. G...

Delaunay triangulation for image object indexing: a novel method for shape representation

Recent research on image databases has been aimed at the development of content-based retrieval techniques for the management of visual information. Compared with such visual information as color, texture, and spatial constraints, shape is so important a feature associated with those image objects of interest that shape alone may be sufficient to identify and classify an object completely and a...
