Voronoi diagrams (by David Rutten)

Voronoi diagrams are named after Russian mathematician Georgy Feodosievych Voronoy who defined and studied the general n-dimensional case in 1908.

Voronoi diagrams are quite useful tools in computational geometry and have a wide range of uses such as, calculating the area per tree in the forest, or figuring out where the poisoned wells were in a city (based on victims' addresses), and so on. In general it is useful for finding "who is closest to whom." A collection of problems where Voronoi diagrams are used is shown below:
  • Collision detection
  • Pattern recognition
  • Geographical optimization
  • Geometric clustering
  • Closest pairs algorithms
  • k-nearest-neighbor queries
