CVT_METRIC, a MATLAB program which computes a CVT (Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation) calculation under a spatially varying metric.
What we are saying is that the distance between two vectors a and b is no longer simply the Euclidean distance, but rather a quadratic form involving a spatially varying, positive definite symmetric matrix that represents the metric:
d(a,b) = ( a - b )' * A * ( a - b )
We assume that A varies spatially, but we would prefer
to simplify this variation in a manner that saves us computational
effort, while allowing us to recover the variational behavior
if we are willing to use a finer spatial sampling.
The metric function is distinct from the density function, which can also be used in these kinds of problems. The density function is weaker, and corresponds to a metric whose matrix at any point is a multiple of the identity matrix. A density function approach cannot result in the more interesting anisotropic effects that an arbitrary metric produces.
