Delaunay triangulation
Book article from: A Dictionary of Computing
Delaunay triangulation A recursive algorithm for splitting an area into triangles that ensures that the circle circumscribing the vertices of a triangle contains the vertices of no other triangle within it. This avoids long thin triangles, for example. See also triangulation .
