  • Algorithm

Algorithm: Collect all the Voronoi facets whose dual Delaunay edges satisfy the angle and ratio property.

 

Ratio Condition (r): Length of pq is larger than (r times) the circumradius of the umbrella triangles at p and q.

 

Angle Condition (q): Edge pq satisfies angle condition if it makes large angle with all the umbrella triangles at p and q.

 

Umbrella: The plane normal to the pole vector intersects some of the Voronoi edges. Dual Del triangles to those edges form the Umbrella at p.
