Abstract

This movie illustrates exact construction and maintenance of arrangements induced by arcs of great circles embedded on the sphere, also known as geodesic arcs, and exact computation of Voronoi diagrams on the sphere, the bisectors of which are geodesic arcs. This class of Voronoi diagrams includes the subclass of Voronoi diagrams of points and its generalization, power diagrams, also known as Laguerre Voronoi diagrams. The resulting diagrams are represented as arrangements, and can be passed as input to consecutive operations supported by the Arrangement-2 package of CGAL and its derivatives. The implementation handles well degenerate input and produces exact results.
