A new parallel algorithm for constructing Voronoi tessellations from distributed input data

We present a new parallel algorithm for generating consistent Voronoi diagrams from distributed input data for the purposes of simulation and visualization. The algorithm functions by building upon any serial Voronoi tessellation algorithm. The output of such a serial tessellator is used to determine the connectivity of the distributed domains without any assumptions about how points are distributed across those domains, and then in turn to build the portion of the global tessellation local to each domain using information from that domains neighbors. The result is a generalized methodology for adding distributed capabilities to serial tessellation packages. Results from several two-dimensional tests are presented, including strong and weak scaling of its current implementation.     

Robust Computation of 3D Apollonius Diagrams

Apollonius diagrams, also known as additively weighted Voronoi diagrams, are an extension of Voronoi diagrams, where the weighted distance is defined by the Euclidean distance minus the weight. The bisectors of Apollonius diagrams have a hyperbolic form, which is fundamentally different from traditional Voronoi diagrams and power diagrams. Though robust solvers are available for computing 2D Apollonius diagrams, there is no practical approach for the 3D counterpart. In this paper, we systematically analyze the structural features of 3D Apollonius diagrams, and then develop a fast algorithm for robustly computing Apollonius diagrams in 3D. Our algorithm consists of vertex location, edge tracing and face extraction, among which the key step is to adaptively subdivide the initial large box into a set of sufficiently small boxes such that each box contains at most one Apollonius vertex. Finally, we use centroidal Voronoi tessellation (CVT) to discretize the curved bisectors with well-tessellated triangle meshes. We validate the effectiveness and robustness of our algorithm through extensive evaluation and experiments. We also demonstrate an application on computing centroidal Apollonius diagram.     

A fast segmentation method based on constraint optimization and its applications: Intensity inhomogeneity and texture segmentation

We propose a new constraint optimization energy and an iteration scheme for image segmentation which is connected to edge-weighted centroidal Voronoi tessellation (EWCVT). We show that the characteristic functions of the edge-weighted Voronoi regions are the minimizers (may not unique) of the proposed energy at each iteration. We propose a narrow banding algorithm to accelerate the implementation, which makes the proposed method very fast. We generalize the CVT segmentation to hand intensity inhomogeneous and texture segmentation by incorporating the global and local image information into the energy functional. Compared with other approaches such as level set method, the experimental results in this paper have shown that our approach greatly improves the calculation efficiency without losing segmentation accuracy.     

Centroidal Voronoi tessellation in universal covering space of manifold surfaces

The centroidal Voronoi tessellation (CVT) has found versatile applications in geometric modeling, computer graphics, and visualization, etc. In this paper, we first extend the concept of CVT from Euclidean space to spherical space and hyperbolic space, and then combine all of them into a unified framework - the CVT in universal covering space. The novel spherical and hyperbolic CVT energy functions are defined, and the relationship between minimizing the energy and the CVT is proved. We also show by our experimental results that both spherical and hyperbolic CVTs have the similar property as their Euclidean counterpart where the sites are uniformly distributed with respect to given density values. As an example of the application, we utilize the CVT in universal covering space to compute uniform partitions and high-quality remeshing results for genus-0, genus-1, and high-genus (genus > 1) surfaces.     

传感环境下基于局部Voronoi图的启发式反监控路径发现算法

针对移动对象通过传感区域时的安全问题,提出了一种基于局部Voronoi图(VT)的启发式反监控路径发现算法.首先,给出了一种基于局部Voronoi图的路径暴露风险近似估算模型.在该模型中,移动目标可依据当前探测到的传感器节点位置信息动态生成局部Voronoi图,并可依据定义的暴露风险计算公式近似估算出局部Voronoi图中各条边所对应路径的暴露风险.然后,在此基础上设计并实现了一种启发式的反监控路径发现算法.在该算法中,移动目标可首先基于局部Voronoi图确定自己的下一跳位置点候选集,然后再基于定义的启发式代价函数从候选集中选择一个风险代价最小的位置点作为其下一跳目标位置点.最后,沿着局部Voronoi图中对应的最小暴露风险路径移动到该目标位置点.理论分析和实验结果表明,所提算法具有良好的反监控性能,针对部署有n个传感器节点的区域,能够使得移动对象在不超过O(n log n)的时间内快速找到一条具有较低暴露风险的路径来穿越整个传感区域.     

Voronoi tessellation of points with integer coordinates: Time-efficient implementation and online edge-list generation

The Voronoi tessellation in the plane can be computed in a particularly time-efficient manner for generators with integer coordinates, such as typically acquired from a raster image. The Voronoi tessellation is constructed line by line during a single scan of the input image, simultaneously generating an edge-list data structure (DCEL) suitable for postprocessing by graph traversal algorithms. In contrast to the generic case, it can be shown that the topology of the grid permits the algorithm to run faster on complex scenes. Consequently, in Computer Vision applications, the computation of the Voronoi tessellation represents an attractive alternative to raster-based techniques in terms of both computational complexity and quality of data structures.     

Euclidean Voronoi diagram of 3D balls and its computation via tracing edges

Despite its important applications in various disciplines in science and engineering, the Euclidean Voronoi diagram for spheres, also known as an additively weighted Voronoi diagram, in 3D space has not been studied as much as it deserves. In this paper, we present an algorithm to compute the Euclidean Voronoi diagram for 3D spheres with different radii. The presented algorithm follows Voronoi edges one by one until the construction is completed in O(mn) time in the worst-case, where m is the number of edges in the Voronoi diagram and n is the number of spherical balls. As building blocks, we show that Voronoi edges are conics that can be precisely represented as rational quadratic Bézier curves. We also discuss how to conveniently represent and process Voronoi faces which are hyperboloids of two sheets.
