Distance on Delaunay Triangulation
Computes the graph distance in the Delaunay triangulation of a point pattern.
delaunayDistance(X)
X |
Spatial point pattern (object of class |
The Delaunay triangulation of a spatial point pattern X
is defined as follows. First the Dirichlet/Voronoi tessellation of X
computed; see dirichlet
. Then two points of X
are defined to be Delaunay neighbours if their Dirichlet/Voronoi tiles
share a common boundary. Every pair of Delaunay neighbours is
joined by a straight line.
The graph distance
in the Delaunay triangulation between two points X[i]
and X[j]
is the minimum number of edges of the Delaunay triangulation
that must be traversed to go from X[i]
to X[j]
.
This command returns a matrix D
such that
D[i,j]
is the graph distance
between X[i]
and X[j]
.
A symmetric square matrix with integer entries.
