Voronoi Diagrams for Polygon-Offset Distance Functions

چکیده
In this paper we develop the concept of a polygon-ooset distance function and show how to compute the respective nearest-and furthest-site Voronoi diagrams of point sites in the plane. We provide optimal deterministic O(n(log n + log m) + m)-time algorithms, where n is the number of points and m is the complexity of the underlying polygon, for computing compact representations of both diagrams.

Voronoi Diagrams for Convex Polygon-Offset Distance Functions
In this paper we develop the concept of a convex polygon-offset distance function. Using offset as a notion of distance, we show how to compute the corresponding nearestand furthest-site Voronoi diagrams of point sites in the plane. We provide nearoptimal deterministic O(n(log n + log m) + m)-time algorithms, where n is the number of points and m is the complexity of the underlying polygon, for...
متن کاملVoronoi Diagram for Convex Polygonal Sites with Convex Polygon-Offset Distance Function
The concept of convex polygon-offset distance function was introduced in 2001 by Barequet, Dickerson, and Goodrich. Using this notion of point-to-point distance, they showed how to compute the corresponding nearestand farthest-site Voronoi diagram for a set of points. In this paper we generalize the polygon-offset distance function to be from a point to any convex object with respect to an m-si...
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...
متن کاملGeneralized Offsetting Using a Variable-Radius Voronoi Diagram
We investigate ways to extend offsetting based on skeletal structures beyond the well-known constant-radius and mitered offsets supported by Voronoi diagrams and straight skeletons for which the orthogonal distance of offset elements to their input elements is uniform. We introduce a new geometric structure called the variableradius Voronoi diagram, which supports the computation of variable-ra...
متن کاملGeneralized Voronoi Diagrams on Polyhedral Terrains
We present an algorithm for computing exact shortest paths, and consequently distances, from a generalized source (point, segment, polygonal chain or polygonal region) on a polyhedral terrain in which polygonal chain or polygon obstacles are allowed. We also present algorithms for computing discrete Voronoi diagrams of a set of generalized sites (points, segments, polygonal chains or polygons) ...
