Description du sujet du stage/Internship description (une dizaine de lignes/about ten lines) :

Given a set of antenna for mobile phone, we want discretized the space depending on the best antenna visible from the phone. Such a modelization can be done in different way for different purpose, precise wave propagation simulation gives good result to simulate the actual behavior but is not very useful to really design the network. We are interested here in a more abstract modelization using a Voronoi-like diagram. Unfortunately, the anisotropic metric associated to antennas make the direct computation of such a diagram difficult.

We intend to develop a discretization solution, where a mesh of the diagram is constructed. From a course mesh, if an element is evaluated to belong to several Voronoi region, then an oracle will produce points on the boundary of Voronoi regions to add them in the mesh.

The student will develop a software solution based on the library CGAL (www.cgal.org). Relying on already existing meshing solutions. He/she will have to design and develop the oracle. This work will be done in collaboration with France-Telecom research.

Préciser les pré-requis nécessaires pour ce stage/Pre-requisit :
Good knowledge of C++ and the STL
Classical algorithms (e.g. sort)
Knowledge of Computational geometry is a good point but not mandatory
