Recursive Spoke Darts: Local Hyperplane Sampling for Delaunay and Voronoi Meshing in Arbitrary Dimensions
Abstract We introduce Recursive Spoke Darts (RSD): a recursive hyperplane sampling algorithm that exploits the full duality between Voronoi and Delaunay entities of various dimensions. Our algorithm abandons the dependence on the empty sphere...
