Data sets and Tools

Introduction

The aim of this web page is to provide data sets and elementary codes to researchers working on discrete geometry. The idea is to make it easy for the community to try our own algorithms on the same image examples as other researchers, as well as to try the algorithms of other researchers. Obviously, feel free to send an e-mail to authors of these web pages (see below) if you have comments.

Submission process

By now, no automatic submission process have been set up. If you want to submit something, send a mail to webmasters (see below) that contains an URL to your materials. Please do not send directly your data by e-mail.

Tools on the web

  • Visualization tools
    • QVox: A 3d volumetric data visualizer written by Sébastien Fourey (see the TC18 code web page).
    • Geomview: an simple interactive 3D viewing program for Unix. Major advantages are : easy to use input format (close to VRML), postscript snapshots, export to VRML. See the 3-D data code web page for snapshots.
    • VRML: web based visualization tool.
  • Computational Geometry tools
    • qhull : Qhull computes convex hulls, Delaunay triangulations, halfspace intersections about a point, Voronoi diagrams, furthest-site Delaunay triangulations, and furthest-site Voronoi diagrams. It runs in 2-d, 3-d, 4-d, and higher dimensions. It implements the Quickhull algorithm for computing the convex hull. Qhull handles roundoff errors from floating point arithmetic. It computes volumes, surface areas, and approximations to the convex hull. Export to Geomview avaliable.
    • Computational Geometry center: useful links and tools about computational geometry.
