Two algorithms for constructing a Delaunay triangulation

TLDR
This paper provides a unified discussion of the Delaunay triangulation and two algorithms are presented for constructing the triangulations over a planar set ofN points.
Abstract
This paper provides a unified discussion of the Delaunay triangulation. Its geometric properties are reviewed and several applications are discussed. Two algorithms are presented for constructing the triangulation over a planar set ofN points. The first algorithm uses a divide-and-conquer approach. It runs inO(N logN) time, which is asymptotically optimal. The second algorithm is iterative and requiresO(N 2) time in the worst case. However, its average case performance is comparable to that of the first algorithm.

Facial expression morphing and animation with local warping methods

TL;DR: The facial warping techniques could be applied to various applications, such as face recognition, authentication, dynamic imagery, speech (action) semantic animation, multimedia and virtual reality construction, low-bandwidth videoconferencing, image transmission, and intelligent man-machine interface.

Designer disordered complex media : hyperuniform photonic and phononic band gap materials.

Timothy Amoah
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the photonic properties of hyperuniform disordered structures (HUDS) using numerical simulations and showed that the existence of large band gaps in HUDS contradicts the long-standing intuition that Bragg scattering and long-range translational order is required in PBG formation.

Closest-point problems

TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to introduce a single geometric structure, called the Voronoi diagram, which can be constructed rapidly and contains all of the relevant proximity information in only linear space, and is used to obtain O(N log N) algorithms for most of the problems considered.
