CGAL, the Computational Geometry Algorithms Library

Participants : Pierre Alliez, Clement Jamin, Florent Lafarge, Sven Oesau, David Bommes.

CGAL is a C++ library of geometric algorithms and data structures. Our team is involved in several on-going implementations: parallelization of mesh generation and triangulations, shape detection in unstructured point sets, geodesic distances on surface meshes and barycentric coordinates (in collaboration with Dmitry Anisimov). Pierre Alliez is a member of the CGAL Editorial Board.
