Farthest line segment Voronoi diagrams
نویسندگان
چکیده
The farthest line segment Voronoi diagram shows properties different from both the closest-segment Voronoi diagram and the farthest-point Voronoi diagram. Surprisingly, this structure did not receive attention in the computational geometry literature. We analyze its combinatorial and topological properties and outline an O(n log n) time construction algorithm that is easy to implement. No restrictions are placed upon the n input line segments; they are allowed to touch or cross.

On the Farthest Line-Segment Voronoi Diagram
The farthest line-segment Voronoi diagram shows properties surprisingly different than the farthest point Voronoi diagram: Voronoi regions may be disconnected and they are not characterized by convexhull properties. In this paper we introduce the farthest line-segment hull, a cyclic structure that relates to the farthest line-segment Voronoi diagram similarly to the way an ordinary convex hull ...
متن کاملAn Expected Linear-Time Algorithm for the Farthest-Segment Voronoi Diagram
We present linear-time algorithms to construct tree-structured Voronoi diagrams, after the sequence of their regions at infinity or along a given boundary is known. We focus on Voronoi diagrams of line segments, including the farthest-segment Voronoi diagram, the order-(k+1) subdivision within a given order-k Voronoi region, and deleting a segment from a nearest-neighbor diagram. Although tree-...
متن کاملThe L∞ (L1) Farthest Line-Segment Voronoi Diagram
We present structural properties of the farthest line-segment Voronoi diagram in the piecewise linear L∞ and L1 metrics, which are computationally simpler than the standard Euclidean distance and very well suited for VLSI applications. We introduce the farthest line-segment hull, a closed polygonal curve that characterizes the regions of the farthest line-segment Voronoi diagram, and is related...
متن کاملOn the Hausdorff and Other Cluster Voronoi Diagrams
The Voronoi diagram is a fundamental geometric structure that encodes proximity information. Given a set of geometric objects, called sites, their Voronoi diagram is a subdivision of the underlying space into maximal regions, such that all points within one region have the same nearest site. Problems in diverse application domains (such as VLSI CAD, robotics, facility location, etc.) demand var...
متن کاملLinear-Time Algorithms for the Farthest-Segment Voronoi Diagram and Related Tree Structures
We present linear-time algorithms to construct tree-like Voronoi diagrams with disconnected regions after the sequence of their faces along an enclosing boundary (or at infinity) is known. We focus on the farthest-segment Voronoi diagram, however, our techniques are also applicable to constructing the order-(k+1) subdivision within an order-k Voronoi region of segments and updating a nearest-ne...
