4 How to prescribe anisotropy Metric field g Continuous map g : p Ω g p, positive symmetric definite matrix Normally: length(γ) = γ, γ 1/2 g dt = γ t (t)g γ(t) γ(t)dt d M (p, q) = inf γ length(γ) g p also defines an anisotropic distance if domain R d : d gp (a, b) = d p (a, b) = (a b) t g p (a b) Boissonnat, Rouxel-Labbé, Wintraecken Approximating Voronoi Diagrams October / 1
5 Local approximations Locally d gp (a, b) approximates d M (p, q). Moreover g p defines and inner product, which after a linear transformation is the Euclidean. Metric distortion ψ: x, y in Ω, we have 1 ψ d G (x, y) d G(x, y) ψd G (x, y). For G = g p and G = g the Metric distortion decreases if Ω smaller, g p g x small, for x, p Ω.

7 Riemannian Voronoi diagrams and approximations Riemannian Voronoi diagrams The Riemannian Voronoi cell of the site p is given by V M (p i ) = {x Ω d M (p i, x) d M (p j, x), p j P \ p i }. Anisotropic Voronoi diagrams The anisotropic Voronoi cell of the site p is given by: Labelle and Shewchuk Du and Wong V LS (p) = {x R d : d p (p, x) d q (q, x), q P, q p} V DW (p) = {x R d : d x (p, x) d x (q, x), q P, q p} Boissonnat, Rouxel-Labbé, Wintraecken Approximating Voronoi Diagrams October / 1
8 Anisotropic Voronoi diagrams: Labelle and Shewchuk and Du and Wong Each site is within its cell Possibility of orphans (non-connected cells) The dual may not be a triangulation Termination of up sampling and quality bounds can be proven in 2D [Labelle, Shewchuk 03] Boissonnat, Rouxel-Labbé, Wintraecken Approximating Voronoi Diagrams October / 1

10 Protection [Boissonnat et al. 13] If B(c, ρ) circum ball, then no alien vertices in B(c, ρ + δ). Gives: lower bounds on height B p c τ ρ B c B+δ r stability of the circumcentre q s Boissonnat, Rouxel-Labbé, Wintraecken Approximating Voronoi Diagrams October / 1

12 Power protection and height H B q q θ θ c c B B +δ H B and B circumspheres of simplices, that share a face. Common face lies in H. Distance H, H lower bounds height. Lower bound height, gives bounds on angles, because (ɛ, µ)-net. Boissonnat, Rouxel-Labbé, Wintraecken Approximating Voronoi Diagrams October / 1

14 Stability circumcentre The circumcentre is stable with respect to perturbations and even with metric distortion Boissonnat, Rouxel-Labbé, Wintraecken Approximating Voronoi Diagrams October / 1
15 Stability in higher dimensions With metric distortion intersection of the bisectors of 3 vertices of a face is constraint to a cylinder (in fact a parallel piped) orthogonal to the face, the circumcentre lies in the intersection of such cylinders. Induction on dimension is now possible. Boissonnat, Rouxel-Labbe, Wintraecken Approximating Voronoi Diagrams October / 1
16 Discrete approximations of the Voronoi diagram Boissonnat, Rouxel-Labbé, Wintraecken Approximating Voronoi Diagrams October / 1
17 Discrete Riemannian Voronoi diagrams Geodesic distances cannot be computed exactly: must discretize Canvas The underlying structure used to compute geodesic distances (typically, an isotropic triangulation) Many methods exist to compute geodesic distances and paths: Fast marching methods [Konukoglu et al. 07] Heat-kernel based methods [Crane et al. 13] Short-term vector Dijkstra [Campen et al. 13] Computing geodesics from multiple sites is a natural extension from the propagation of geodesic distances from one site.

29 Sperner s Lemma Theorem (Sperner s lemma) Let σ = (e 0,..., e n ) be an n-simplex and T σ a triangulation of the simplex. Let e T σ be colored such that: The vertices e i of σ all have different colors. If e lies on a k-face (e i0,... e ik ) of σ, then e has the same color as one of the vertices of the face, that is e ij. Then, there exists at least one simplex in T σ whose vertices are colored with all n + 1 colors. Boissonnat, Rouxel-Labbé, Wintraecken Approximating Voronoi Diagrams October / 1

37 Centres of mass in Euclidean space Weighted average of points µi p i, with µ i = 1. Generalizes to p dµ(p), which is where the minimum of P R n(x) = 1 2 x p 2 dµ(p) is attained. Boissonnat, Rouxel-Labbé, Wintraecken Approximating Voronoi Diagrams October / 1
38 Theorem (Karcher) Let M be a manifold whose sectional curvature K is bounded, that is Λ l K Λ u. Let P M the function on B ρ defined by P M (x) = 1 d M (x, p) 2 dµ(p), 2 where dµ is a positive measure and the support of dµ is contained in B ρ. We now give two conditions on ρ: ρ is less than half the injectivity radius, if Λ u > 0 then ρ < π 2 Λ u. If these conditions are met then P M has a unique critical point in B ρ, which is a minimum.
