Sparse 3D Topological Graphs for Micro-Aerial Vehicle Planning
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
We use a Euclidean Signed Distance Field, extract a 3D Generalized Voronoi Diagram (GVD), and obtain a thin skeleton diagram representing the topological structure of the environment. ...
We then convert this skeleton diagram into a sparse graph, which we show is resistant to noise and changes in resolution. ...
GVD Generation In order to generate the original Generalized Voronoi Diagram, we follow the common approach of finding "ridges" in the signed distance function [18] , [7] . ...

For interactive exploration of the data, we propose to combine diagram views with three-dimensional hybrid visualizations. ...
We show that this facilitates familiarizing with the data and leads to exciting analytic queries. If a geometric data reduction is possible, we focus on glyph-and texture-based methods. ...
To ensure a time-efficient solution, we apply a distance measure that has already been successfully used in previous work [Labelle and Shewchuk, 2003; Feng et al., 2008] to generalize Voronoi diagrams ...

Furthermore, these surveys agree on a simplified classification of cavity detection algorithms into the following classes: sphere-based, grid-based, and Voronoi-based. ...
Such cavities correspond to pockets, clefts, invaginations, voids, tunnels, channels, and grooves on the surface of a given protein. ...

In this paper, we present a new parallel centerline extraction algorithm suitable for implementation on a GPU to produce highly accurate, 26-connected, one-voxel-thick centerlines at interactive speed. ...
Some methods based on distance mapping are accurate, but these are sequential algorithms which have limited performance when running on the CPU. ...

Interactive Modeling of Cellular Structures on Surfaces with Application to Additive Manufacturing
2020
Computer graphics forum (Print)
Unfortunately, interactive control of such patterns-as modeled by Voronoi diagrams, is limited to the simple two dimensional case and does not extend well to freeform surfaces. ...
Together with shells, they can be conveniently packed to save on production time. ...
A workaround is the so called restricted Voronoi diagrams, i.e., the intersection of the surface and a volumetric Voronoi diagram. ...
