Planar Triangulation¶
A planar triangulation is a collection of |n| 2D points, whose coordinates are stored in a |(2,n)| matrix |vertex|, and a topological collection of triangle, stored in a |(m,2)| matrix |faces|.
Number of points.
n = 200;
Compute randomized points in a square.
vertex = 2*rand(2,n)-1;
A simple way to build a triangulation of the convex hull of the points is to compute the Delaunay triangulation of the points.
faces = delaunay(vertex(1,:),vertex(2,:))';
One can display the triangulation.
clf;
subplot(1,2,1);
hh = plot(vertex(1,:),vertex(2,:), 'k.');
axis('equal'); axis('off');
set(hh,'MarkerSize',10);
title('Points');
subplot(1,2,2);
plot_mesh(vertex,faces);
title('Triangulation');
Point Modification¶
It is possible to modify the position of the points like a particles system. The dynamics is govered by the connectivity to enfoce an even distribution. During the modification of the positions, the connectivity is updated.
Fix some points on a disk.
m = 20;
t = linspace(0,2*pi,m+1); t(end) = [];
vertexF = [cos(t);sin(t)];
vertex(:,1:m) = vertexF;
faces = delaunay(vertex(1,:),vertex(2,:))';
Initialize the positions.
vertex1 = vertex;
Compute the delaunay triangulation.
faces1 = delaunay(vertex1(1,:),vertex1(2,:))';
Compute the list of edges.
E = [faces([1 2],:) faces([2 3],:) faces([3 1],:)];
p = size(E,2);
We build the adjacency matrix of the triangulation.
A = sparse( E(1,:), E(2,:), ones(p,1) );
Normalize the adjacency matrix to obtain a smoothing operator.
d = 1./sum(A);
iD = spdiags(d(:), 0, n,n);
W = iD * A;
Apply the filtering.
vertex1 = vertex1*W';
Set of the position of fixed points.
vertex1(:,1:m) = vertexF;
Display the positions before / after.
clf;
subplot(1,2,1);
plot_mesh(vertex,faces);
title('Before filering');
subplot(1,2,2);
plot_mesh(vertex1,faces1);
title('After filtering');
Exercise 1
Compute several steps of iterative filterings, while ensuring the positions of the fixed points.
