Question:

Which of the following statements is/are correct in the context of Voronoi polygon?

Show Hint

Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay triangulations are closely related: Voronoi edges are perpendicular bisectors of Delaunay edges, and Voronoi vertices are circumcenters of Delaunay triangles.

  • A Voronoi polygon may contain more than one point, especially where the density of points is higher
  • The center of a Voronoi polygon is a circumcenter of a Delaunay triangle
  • Each intersection of Voronoi edges belongs to at least three Voronoi polygons
  • Voronoi polygons and Delaunay triangles are geometric dual of each other

The Correct Option is C, D

Solution and Explanation

Option (A) is incorrect: By definition, a Voronoi polygon (or cell) contains exactly one generating point.
All locations inside a Voronoi cell are closer to that point than to any other.
So a Voronoi polygon cannot contain more than one point.

Option (B) is incorrect: The center of a Voronoi polygon is not necessarily the circumcenter of a Delaunay triangle.
Rather, the vertices (corners) of the Voronoi diagram correspond to the circumcenters of Delaunay triangles formed from neighboring generating points.

Option (C) is correct: In a Voronoi diagram, each point where three or more Voronoi edges meet (called a Voronoi vertex)
lies at the intersection of three or more cells, meaning it belongs to at least three Voronoi polygons.

Option (D) is correct: Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay triangulations are geometric duals.
Connecting the generating points of adjacent Voronoi cells forms the Delaunay triangulation.
