Abstract: The Delaunay edge-flip technique is a practical method for transforming any existing triangular mesh S into a mesh T(S) that satisfies the Delaunay condition. In this paper we present an iterative GPU-based method capable of improving triangulations under the Delaunay criteria. This method is based on the edge-flip technique and its implementation is fully integrable with the OpenGL rendering pipeline. Since the algorithm uses an e value to handle co-circular or close to co-circular point configurations, we can not guarantee that all triangles fulfill the Delaunay condition. However, we have compared the triangulations generated by our method with the ones generated by the Triangle software and by the CGAL library and we obtained less than 0.05% different triangles. Based on our experimental results, we report speedups from 14× to 50× against Lawson’s sequential algorithm and of approximately 3× against the O(nlog n) CGAL’s and Triangle’s constructive algorithms while processing bad quality triangulations.
