Delaunay Triangulation

Delaunay Triangulation is a method for connecting points in a plane to form triangles such that no point appears inside the circumcircle (the circle passing through all three vertices) of any triangle. This creates a network of triangles that maximizes the minimum angle, avoiding skinny triangles, and often results in an efficient, well-shaped mesh. It's widely used in computer graphics, geographical mapping, and modeling terrains, helping to organize spatial data and perform various calculations smoothly and accurately.
