CVT_MOVIE
Animated CVT Algorithm
CVT_MOVIE
is a MATLAB program which
animates the generation of a Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation (CVT) dataset.
The data that the user may set includes:
-
N, the number of points to generate,
-
INIT, initialize the points:
-
file, by reading data from file;
-
'GRID', picking points from a grid;
-
'HALTON', from a Halton sequence;
-
'RAND', using MATLAB's RAND function;
-
'UNIFORM', using a simple uniform RNG;
-
IT_MAX, the maximum number of iterations;
-
IT_FIXED, the number of iterations for which each
set of sample points should be used (between 1 and IT_MAX);
-
SAMPLE, how to conduct the sampling:
-
'GRID', picking points from a grid;
-
'HALTON', from a Halton sequence;
-
'RAND', using MATLAB's RAND function;
-
'UNIFORM', using a simple uniform RNG;
-
SAMPLE_NUM, the number of sampling points:
-
MOVIE_NAME, the number the animation file to be created.
Animation:
You can see a sample AVI animation.
