A Comparison of Plane Sweep Delaunay Triangulation Algorithms

This paper presents a survey as well as a new sweep-circle algorithm, on plane sweep algorithms for computing the Delaunay triangulation. The algorithms examined are: Fortune’s sweep-line algorithm, Zalik’s sweep-line algorithm, and a sweep-circle algorithm proposed by Adam, Kauffmann, Schmitt, and Spehner. We test implementations of these algorithms on a number of uniform and none-uniform distributed sites. We also analyze the major high-level primitives that algorithms use and do an experimental analysis of how often implementations of these algorithms perform each operation.
