Checking Point Set Quality -------------------------- The following quality measures were computed: #1: The cell volume - (region volume)/number of cells #2: The trace of the second moment matrix of each cell - the average #3: The determinant of the deviatoric matrix Each of these quantities should be zero for a "perfect" set of points. The L1, L2 and L-Infinity norms of these quantities were computed. Only the L-Infinity norm is reported here. The cases considered were: Random: Choose the points at random Halton: Choose Halton points CVT 1: Choose Halton points, then 1 iteration of CVT CVT 10: Choose Halton points, then 10 iterations of CVT The cases were run on the standard 3D problem, with 32 and 512 generators.
