摘要
This paper introduces a new algorithm for constructing a 2D Delaunay triangulation. It is based on a sweep-line paradigm, which is combined with a local optimization criterion - a characteristic of incremental insertion algorithms. The sweep-line status is represented by a so-called advancing front, which is implemented as a hash-table. Heuristics have been introduced to prevent the construction of tiny triangles, which would probably be legalized. This algorithm has been compared with other popular Delaunay algorithms and it is the fastest algorithm among them. In addition, this algorithm does not use a lot of memory for supporting data structure, it is easy to understand and simple to implement. (c) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
