Abstract

We propose efficient and effective sequential-scan algorithms for intelligent emergency planning, spatial analysis and disaster decision support through the use of Voronoi Tessellations. We propose a modified distance transform algorithm to include complex primitives (point, line and area), Minkowski metrics, different weights, obstacles and higher-order Voronoi diagrams. Illustrated examples demonstrate the usefulness and robustness of our proposed computation model.
