CENTROIDALVORONOI2D_MC Centroidal Voronoi tesselation by Monte-Carlo. PTS = centroidalVoronoi2d_MC(NPTS, POLY) Generate points in a polygon based on centroidal voronoi tesselation. Centroidal germs can be computed by using the Llyod's algorithm: 1) initial germs are chosen at random within polygon 2) voronoi polygon of the germs is computed 3) the centroids of each domain are computed, and used as germs of the next iteration This version uses a Monte-Carlo version of Llyod's algorithm. The centroids are not computed explicitly, but approximated by sampling N points within the bounding polygon. [PTS, PATHLIST] = centroidalVoronoi2d_MC(NPTS, POLY) Also returns the path of each germs at each iteration. The result PATHLIST is a cell array with as many cells as the number of germs, containing in each cell the successive positions of the germ. PTS = centroidalVoronoi2d_MC(.., PARAM, VALUE) Specify one or several optional arguments. PARAM can be one of: * 'nIter' specifies the number of iterations of the algorithm (default is 50) * 'nPoints' number of points for updating positions of germs at each iteration. Default is 200 times the number of germs. * 'verbose' display iteration number. Default is false. Example poly = ellipseToPolygon([50 50 40 30 20], 200); nGerms = 100; germs = centroidalVoronoi2d(nGerms, poly); figure; hold on; drawPolygon(poly, 'k'); drawPoint(germs, 'bo'); axis equal; axis([0 100 10 90]); % extract regions of the CVD box = polygonBounds(poly); [n, e] = boundedVoronoi2d(box, germs); [n2, e2] = clipGraphPolygon(n, e, poly); drawGraphEdges(n2, e2, 'b'); See also graphs, boundedVoronoi2d, centroidalVoronoi2d Rewritten from programs found in http://people.scs.fsu.edu/~burkardt/m_src/cvt/cvt.html Reference: Qiang Du, Vance Faber, and Max Gunzburger, Centroidal Voronoi Tessellations: Applications and Algorithms, SIAM Review, Volume 41, 1999, pages 637-676.
