Voronoi diagrams of algebraic distance fields

چکیده
We design and implement an efficient and certified algorithm for the computation of Voronöı Diagrams (VD’s) constrained to a given domain. Our framework is general and applicable to any VD-type where the distance field is given explicitly or implicitly by a polynomial, notably the anisotropic VD or VD’s of non-punctual sites. We use the Bernstein form of polynomials and DeCasteljau’s algorithm to subdivide the initial domain and isolate bisector, or domains that contain a Voronöı vertex. The efficiency of our algorithm is due to a filtering process, based on bounding the field over the subdivided domains. This allows to exclude functions (thus sites) that do not contribute locally to the lower envelope of the lifted diagram. The output is a polygonal description of each Voronöı cell, within any user-defined precision, isotopic to the exact VD. Correctness of the result is implied by the certified approximations of bisector branches, which are computed by existing methods for handling algebraic curves. First experiments with our C++ implementation, based on double precision arithmetic, demonstrate the adaptability of the algorithm.

متن کاملGenerating and updating multiplicatively weighted Voronoi diagrams for point, line and polygon features in GIS
A Voronoi diagram is an interdisciplinary concept that has been applied to many fields. In geographic information systems (GIS), existing capabilities for generating Voronoi diagrams normally focus on ordinary (not weighted) point (not linear or area) features. For better integration of Voronoi diagram models and GIS, a raster-based approach is developed, and implemented seamlessly as an ArcGIS...

We present an algorithm for fast computation of discrete generalized Voronoi diagrams. Given a set of geometric primitives, and a distance metric, our algorithm efficiently computes the Voronoi diagram along a uniform grid by evaluating distance fields. We use a multipass approach and divide the computation into intervals along each dimension. We present an efficient culling algorithm to reduce...
