Angular and Aspect-Ratio Voronoi Diagram with Applications

Given a set of line segments in the plane, we can define an angular Voronoi diagram (and aspect-ratio Voronoi diagram) as follows: a point belongs to a Voronoi region of a line segment if the visual angle of the line segment from the point (aspect ratio of a triangle defined by the point and the line segment) is smallest (largest, resp.) among all line segments. These Voronoi diagrams are different from an ordinary Voronoi diagram for a point set. After introducing interesting properties, we present two efficient algorithms, one for finding a point to maximize the smallest visual angle and the other for computing a point to minimize the largest aspect ratio.
