چکیده
This paper considers the problem of updating efficiently a Delaunay triangulation when vertices are moving under small perturbations. Its main contribution is a set of algorithms based on the concept of vertex tolerance. Experiment shows that it is able to outperform the naive rebuilding algorithm in certain conditions. For instance, when points, in two dimensions, are relocated by Lloyd’s iterations, our algorithm performs about several times faster than rebuilding.

La contribution principale de ce travail est un ensemble d’algorithmes basés sur le concept de la tolérance d’un sommet. L’experimentation montre qu’il parvient a dépasser la performance de l’algorithme naif de reconstruction dans certaines conditions. Par exemple, quand les points sont soumis, aux itérations de Lloyd, en dimension deux, notre algorithme termine plusieurs fois plus rapidement que la reconstruction.

Fast Updating of Delaunay Triangulation of Moving Points by Bi-cell Filtering
Updating a Delaunay triangulation when data points are slightly moved is the bottleneck of computation time in variational methods for mesh generation and remeshing. Utilizing the connectivity coherence between two consecutive Delaunay triangulations for computation speedup is the key to solving this problem. Our contribution is an effective filtering technique that confirms most bi-cells whose...
متن کاملOn the Number of Higher Order Delaunay Triangulations
Higher order Delaunay triangulations are a generalization of the Delaunay triangulation which provides a class of well-shaped triangulations, over which extra criteria can be optimized. A triangulation is order-k Delaunay if the circumcircle of each triangle of the triangulation contains at most k points. In this paper we study lower and upper bounds on the number of higher order Delaunay trian...
متن کاملDelaunay Triangulations of Points on Circles
Delaunay triangulations of a point set in the Euclidean plane are ubiquitous in a number of computational sciences, including computational geometry. Delaunay triangulations are not well defined as soon as 4 or more points are concyclic but since it is not a generic situation, this difficulty is usually handled by using a (symbolic or explicit) perturbation. As an alternative, we propose to def...
متن کاملNeighborly inscribed polytopes and Delaunay triangulations
We prove that there are superexponentially many combinatorially distinct d-dimensional neighborly Delaunay triangulations on n points. These are the first examples of neighborly Delaunay triangulations that cannot be obtained via a stereographic projection of an inscribed cyclic polytope, and provide the current best lower bound for the number of combinatorial types of Delaunay triangulations. ...
متن کاملThe Stability of Delaunay Triangulations
We introduce a parametrized notion of genericity for Delaunay triangulations which, in particular, implies that the Delaunay simplices of δ-generic point sets are thick. Equipped with this notion, we study the stability of Delaunay triangulations under perturbations of the metric and of the vertex positions. We quantify the magnitude of the perturbations under which the Delaunay triangulation r...
