摘要
An improved algorithm of Delaunay triangulation is proposed by expanding the scope from a convex polygon to an arbitrary polygon area in which holes can be contained in the subdivision procedure. The data structure of generated triangles and the exuviationslike method play a key role, and a single connectivity domain (SCD) without holes is constructed as the initial part of the algorithm. Meanwhile, some examples show that the method can be applied to the triangulation of the trimmed NURBS surface. The result of surface tessellation can be used in many applications such as NC machining, finite element analysis, rendering and mechanism interference detection.
