A Study on Delaunay Terminal Edge Method
نویسنده
چکیده
The Delaunay terminal edge algorithm for triangulation improvement proceeds by iterative Lepp selection of a point M which is midpoint of a Delaunay terminal edge in the mesh. The longest edge bisection of the associated terminal triangles (sharing the terminal edge) can be seen as a first step in the Delaunay insertion of M . The method was introduced as a generalization of non-Delaunay longest edge algorithms but formal termination proof had not been stated until now. In this paper termination is proved and several geometric aspects of the algorithm behavior are studied.

Geometrical Mesh Improvement Properties of Delaunay Terminal Edge Refinement
The use of edge based refinement in general, and Delaunay terminal edge refinement in particular are well established for planar meshing, but largely on a heuristic basis. In this paper, we present a series of theoretical results on the geometric mesh improvement properties of these methods. The discussion is based on refining a mesh to meet a specified angle tolerance.
متن کامل-irregular Element Tessellation in Mixed Element Meshes for the Control Volume Discretization Method
This paper presents an algorithm to compute the minimal tessellation of 1-irregular elements such as cuboids, rectangular prisms and pyramids. The minimal tessellation is the one that contains the minimum number of terminal elements. Terminal elements are the elements that compose the nal mesh. The complete mesh fulllls the Delaunay condition and is adequate for the control volume discretizatio...
متن کاملCombining Region Splitting and Edge Detection through Guided Delaunay Image Subdivision
In this paper, an adaptive split-and-merge segmen-tation method is proposed. The splitting phase of the algorithm employs the in-cremental Delaunay triangulation competent of forming grid edges of arbitrary orientation and position. The tessellation grid, deened by the Delaunay trian-gulation, is adjusted to the semantics of the image data by combining similarity and diierence information among...
متن کاملAutomatic construction of quality nonobtuse boundary Delaunay triangulations
In this paper we discuss the automatic construction of quality nonobtuse boundary Delaunay triangulations of polygons such as needed for control volume or nite element method applications. These are Delaunay triangulations whose smallest angles are bounded and, in addition, whose boundary triangles do not have obtuse angles opposite to any boundary or interface edge. The method we propose in th...
متن کاملAdaptive Image Segmentation by Combining Photometric Invariant Region and Edge Information
ÐAn adaptive image segmentation scheme is proposed employing the Delaunay triangulation for image splitting. The tessellation grid of the Delaunay triangulation is adapted to the semantics of the image data by combining region and edge information. To achieve robustness against imaging conditions (e.g., shading, shadows, illumination, and highlights), photometric invariant similarity measures, ...
