	Triangulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In trigonometry and elementary geometry, triangulation is the process of finding a distance to a point by calculating the length of one side of a triangle, given measurements of angles and sides of the triangle formed by that point and two other reference points.
		The sum of the angles of a triangle is π rad or 180 degrees.
		Triangulation is used for many purposes, including surveying, navigation, metrology, astrometry, binocular vision and gun direction of weapons.

	Triangulation (social science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the social sciences, triangulation is often used to indicate that more than one method is used in a study with a view to double (or triple) checking results.
		Another definition of "triangulation" which is commonly used in the social sciences is the description of when a person, either intentionally or unintentionally pits two others against each other to achieve a desired result or outcome.
		Triangulation is also used in instances where goods and services are traded from one nation to another, using an intermediate nation.

	Delaunay triangulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, and computational geometry, the Delaunay triangulation or Delone triangularization for a set P of points in the plane is the triangulation DT(P) of P such that no point in P is inside the circumcircle of any triangle in DT(P).
		The triangulation was invented by Boris Delaunay in 1934 [1].
		Delaunay triangulations are often used to build meshes for the finite element method, because of the angle guarantee and the fact that we know fast triangulation algorithms.

	Define triangulation - a Whatis.com definition
		Triangulation is a process by which the location of a radio transmitter can be determined by measuring either the radial distance, or the direction, of the received signal from two or three different points.
		Triangulation is sometimes used in cellular communications to pinpoint the geographic position of a user.
		Triangulation apparatus can be confused by the reflection of signals from objects such as large steel-frame buildings, water towers, communications towers, and other obstructions.

	When Index Equals Content
		A triangulation of a polygon D is a division of D into a finite number of triangles so that each edge on the boundary of D belongs to just one triangle of the subdivision, and each edge in the interior of D is shared by exactly two triangles of the subdivision.
		Triangulate it in any way and label the vertices of the triangulation with the three labels A, B, and C. A triangle in a triangulation is called complete iff its three vertices all received different labels.
		The vertices of the original triangle are labeled with three different letters A, B, and C. Vertices of the triangulation that lie on the side AB are labeled either A or B. A similar condition holds for the vertices on sides BC and AC.

	An Unshellable Triangulation
		A triangulation is a tessellation of a simply connected polygon by triangles such that no vertex of a triangle lies in the interior of an edge of another triangle.
		In the plane a triangulation can always be built by starting with one triangle and then adding one triangle at a time so that at every step one has a set of triangles whose union forms a polygon that can be continuously deformed into a square (i.e., it's homeomorphic to a square).
		A triangulation that can be built by adding one simplex (tetrahedron) at a time such that at every step you have a collection of tetrahedra whose union is homeomorphic to a cube is called shellable.

	FQS 2(1) Udo Kelle: Sociological Explanations between Micro and Macro and the Integration of Qualitative and ...
		Thereby it will be shown that an understanding of triangulation in its original trigonometrical sense (although it cannot be considered as a methodological model suitable for all aspects of method integration) may be helpful in gaining a deeper insight into theoretical aspects of method integration in sociology.
		Hence two meanings of triangulation have emerged in these debates: triangulation as a process of cumulative validation or triangulation as a means to produce a more complete picture of the investigated phenomena.
		Consequently, the trigonometrical interpretation of triangulation (which may be considered as a strict version of the complementarity approach) seems to provide the most adequate metaphor for the integration of research methods and results concerning the industrial mechanicsŽ educational behaviour.

	Polygon Triangulation
		Computing the triangulation of a polygon is a fundamental algorithm in computational geometry.
		In computer graphics, polygon triangulation algorithms are widely used for tessellating curved geometries, as are described by splines [Kumar and Manocha 1994].
		A monotone polygon can be triangulated in linear time by using a simple greedy algorithm which repeatedly cuts off the convex corners of the polygon [Fournier and Montuno 1984].

	Transform - Triangulation
		A triangulation of a point set treats the points as nodes in a network and draws links between them that divides the region between the points into triangular tiles.
		The Delaunay triangulation is closely related to the Voronoi tiling of a region, as can be seen from the following illustration that shows both a Voronoi tiling as well as a triangulation.
		The triangulation operators except will transfer column data from source to target (created) objects using whatever transfer rules are in force for the data attribute columns.

	SDI : Fast & Fully Dynamic Constrained Delaunay Triangulation Library by David Kornmann (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		Usually, other triangulation libraries that you will find will require their own data formats, forcing you to have to deal with multiple databases basically representing the same thing.
		With SDI, it is possible to share the same triangulation database between SDI for the geometry update, the rendering part of your application, and other specific computations, saving them a lot of memory.
		The memory management is static, which means that all the memory needed for the triangulation sessions is allocated at once when the user defined data is connected to the triangulator.

	Triangulate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		Triangulation involves creating from the sample points a set of non-overlapping triangularly bounded facets, the vertices of the triangles are the input sample points.
		There are a number of triangulation algorithms that may be advocated, the more popular algorithms are the radial sweep method and the Watson algorithm which implement Delaunay triangulation.
		Triangulation based methods honor this situation by giving a large number of triangles and hence more detail to the highly sampled regions and large triangles, less detail, to the regions with a few samples.

	Applications of 3D Delaunay triangulation algorithms in geoscientific modelling.
		In this research, Delaunay triangulation procedures have been used in the reconstruction of 3D geometric figures where the complexity of the problem is much greater than the 2D case.
		Similarly we can obtain a triangulation for higher dimensions, for example in three dimensions if we connect all pairs of points sharing a common facet in the Voronoi diagram, the result is a set of tetrahedra filling the entire domain.
		The Delaunay triangulation for a set of points is defined only if the points are distinct, so the uniqueness of the points in the given set is treated as a prerequisite for the applicability of this algorithm.

		Triangulation: multiple forms of overlapping, diverse pieces of evidence and perspectives.
		Triangulation is a key tenant of the anthropological approach to data gathering (and therefore, teacher research).
		As opposed to relying on one single form of evidence or perspective as the basis for findings, multiple forms of diverse and redundant types of evidence are used to check the validity and reliability of the findings (Jacob, 1990; O'Malley & Valdez Pierce, 1996; Maxwell, 1996; Wiggins, 1998).
