Voronoi diagrams—a survey of a fundamental geometric data structure

TL;DR: The Voronoi diagram as discussed by the authors divides the plane according to the nearest-neighbor points in the plane, and then divides the vertices of the plane into vertices, where vertices correspond to vertices in a plane.

Determining the Separation of Preprocessed Polyhedra - A Unified Approach

TL;DR: The emphasis is the uniform treatment of polyhedra separation problems, the use of hierarchical representations of primitive objects to provide implicit representations of composite or transformed objects, and applications to natural problems in graphics and robotics.

Finding minimal enclosing boxes

TL;DR: It is proven that at least two adjacent box sides are flush with edges of the hull of the convex hull, and this characterization enables the anO(n3) algorithm to find all minimal boxes for a set ofn points.

Visibility Problems for Polyhedral Terrains

TL;DR: An O(n@l"4(n)log n)-time algorithm is presented that preprocesses L and @s into a data-structure of size O(o(log^2n) time ray Shooting queries, which supports fast ray shooting queries.

Optimal Search in Planar Subdivisions

TL;DR: This work presents a practical algorithm for subdivision search that achieves the same (optimal) worst case complexity bounds as the significantly more complex algorithm of Lipton and Tarjan, namely $O(\log n)$ search time with $O(n)$ storage.

Primitives for the manipulation of general subdivisions and the computation of Voronoi diagrams

TL;DR: Two algorithms are given, one that constructs the Voronoi diagram of the given sites, and another that inserts a new site in O(n) time, based on the use of the Vor onoi dual, the Delaunay triangulation, and are simple enough to be of practical value.

Convex hulls of finite sets of points in two and three dimensions

TL;DR: The presented algorithms use the “divide and conquer” technique and recursively apply a merge procedure for two nonintersecting convex hulls to ensure optimal time complexity within a multiplicative constant.
