GBGVD: growth-based geodesic Voronoi diagrams by Qi, Yunjia, Zong, Chen, Zhang, Yunxiao, Chen, Shuangmin, Xu, Minfeng, Ran, Lingqiang, Xu, Jian, Xin, Shiqing, He, Ying

“…We observe that it is easier to infer the branching points by stretching the ordinary segments than competing between wavefronts from different directions. Based on the observation, we develop an unfolding technique to compute the ordinary points of the GVD, as well as a growth-based technique to stretch the traced bisector segments such that they finally grow into a complete GVD. …”
