Linear-Time Poisson-Disk Patterns

Graphics 2013-03-29 v1

Abstract

We present an algorithm for generating Poisson-disc patterns taking O(N) time to generate NN points. The method is based on a grid of regions which can contain no more than one point in the final pattern, and uses an explicit model of point arrival times under a uniform Poisson process.
