[ITK-dev] ITK Software Guide

[Celina Imielinska]

Dear All
(I have emailed separately Bill Schroeder at Kitware)
I am very happy that ITK Toolkit has been thriving over so many years. Kitware has done amazing job to maintain it and to expand it.
Still, I am trying to contact the main co-authors of the currect ITK Software Guide.
I am writing about the usage of "Voronoi Region" terminology in the recent editions of the ITK Software guide - that is very odd and not in agreement with how Voronoi Diagram, that is one of the fundamental geometric structures, is defined:https://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~suri/cs235/Voronoi.pdf

Could you please email me -  I would like to suggest that if we want to use as "geometrical concepts associated with the ITK image" "Voronoi region" in a form what I consider a degenerative representation of  it - then maybe it would be wise to name it differently. Not to mention the usage of another oddity:  Delaunay Region - what is it? Voronoi Diagram and its dual, Delaunay Triangulation are classic geometric constructs that require that the points, in the Voronoi diagram, the Voronoi points, satisfy:
"Non-degeneracy Condition: Assume no 4 cocircular points, and no 3 collinear."
This is violated in the construct included in the Guide and referred to as Voronoi Region and Delaunay Region.
I don't mind that the guide is not including any more my  original hybrid segmentation contribution that included Voronoi Diagram classification https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/27299860.pdfI woudl like to ask you to discuss what can be done with possibly correctingthe odd terminology,
looking forward to hear from 
Best Regards,
