OpenCV undistortPoints and triangulatePoint give odd results (stereo)
I'm trying to get 3D coordinates of several points in space, but I'm getting odd results from both undistortPoints() and triangulatePoints().
Since both cameras have different resolution, I've calibrated them separately, got RMS errors of 0,34 and…

Efficient Delaunay triangulation
I'm looking for a .NET implementation which builds Delaunay triangulation from set of points.
I have already tested couple of implementations but they all worked only for small amount of points (up to 20,000).
I need something that can handle…

Finding nearest neighbours of a triangular tesellation
I have a triangular tessellation like the one shown in the figure.
Given N number of triangles in the tessellation, I have a N X 3 X 3 array which stores (x, y, z) coordinates of all three vertices of each triangle. My goal is to find for each…

Lightweight Delaunay trianguation library (for c++)
I'd like to play around with some (2D) Delaunay triangulations, and am looking for a reasonably small library to work with. I'm aware of CGAL, but I was wondering if there was something fairly simple and straightforward out there.
Things I would…
