CGAL - Computational Geometry Algorithms Library
http://www.cgal.org/

The goal of the CGAL Open Source Project is to provide easy access to efficient and reliable geometric algorithms to users in industry and academia in the form of a C++ library. CGAL is used in various areas needing geometric computation, such as: computer graphics, scientific visualization, computer aided design and modeling, geographic information systems, molecular biology, medical imaging, robotics and motion planning, mesh generation, numerical methods. CGAL, the Computational Geometry Algorithms Library, offers data structures and algorithms like triangulations (2D constrained triangulations and Delaunay triangulations in 2D and 3D), Voronoi diagrams (for 2D and 3D points, 2D additively weighted Voronoi diagrams, and segment Voronoi diagrams), Boolean operations on polygons and polyhedra, arrangements of curves, mesh algorithms (2D Delaunay mesh generation and 3D surface mesh generation, surface mesh subdivision and parameterization), alpha shapes, convex hull algorithms (in 2D, 3D and dD), operations on polygons (straight skeleton and offset polygon), search structures (kd trees for nearest neighbor search, and range and segment trees), interpolation (natural neighbor interpolation and placement of streamlines), optimisation algorithms (smallest enclosing sphere of points or spheres, smallest enclosing ellipsoid of points, principal component analysis), and kinetic data structures. This has been added to Artificial Intelligence Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
