Description
Tested on master and 1.7.4 on both linux and windows.
The attached layer "3763" causes qgis to crash if interpolating (with the "Z" column) with the "interpolation" plugin and the TIN method. Works fine with IDW.
Strangely enough, the very same layer saved in another CRS (attached here) does not cause the tool to crash qgis.
In both cases the project CRS was set as the same as the layer being processed.

Hi,
could anybody check this solution?
I think it was a numerical problem. The value of the leftOfTresh was too small. So the case "p is in a line with p0 and p1" could not detect.

Same problem: Segmentation fault using the "interpolation" plugin and the TIN method on a xyz dataset (Z interpolation).
I checked the patch but it bit not fix the problem.
According to my tests, qgis crashes when the points to interpolate are too close (too dense dataset).
I enclose a dataset that causing qgis to crash. Use the SCR ID 10090.
Please can you test this dataset and report if it crashes or not ?
Thanks!

Reverting the patch does not work! (tested w/test2.xyz)
below the backtrace, if it can you help:

Hi,
the mean problem is the recursiv call checkSwap<->doSwap. I don't know the precise reason why the recursion sometimes never ends. But how about the simple strategy to limit the recrusiv deep? I know that is not ideal. But this prevent that qgis crashes.
Thomas
By the way I used the "git format-patch" command to create this patch. I hope it is ok.

Hello,
Thank you for the patch Thomas, it works well !
#12
Updated by Marco Hugentobler over 12 years ago
I agree the numerical stability of the triangulation code is not rock-solid (and if there are volunteers for maintaining the triangulation code, that would be great).
As Thomas points out, limiting the recursive depth of the swaping is not optimal (in extreme cases, one point insertion could swap all the existing edges in a triangulation). Therefore, I'm not applying that patch to the git repo.

Hi Giovanni,
yes, it still happens here with a similar backtrace (as above):

This wasn't working in 1.8 too, so shouldn't be a blocker.
Btw., it obviously is something related to numerical stability of the TIN generation. Therefore it is more likely in degree coordinate system than in meters.

still crashes qgis, now I see just
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
#21
Updated by Martin Dobias almost 11 years ago
The numerical stability issues are apparent especially in cases when points are forming rectangles, ending up swapping edges infinitely (well, until QGIS runs out of stack and crashes).
For short term solution I would propose using Thomas Arnold's patch to limit the recursion depth. The numerical errors are IMHO not easy to resolve, especially because there are two ad-hoc thresholds involved (one for point-in-circle test, other one for which-side-of-line test). Marco's point about possible sub-optimal triangulation are valid, but I think mostly theoretical (if the recursion level is great enough, e.g. 1000). After all, we do not need a perfect Delaunay triangulation for the interpolation - much more important is not to crash!
For longer term solution we should use a proven implementation where we do not need to deal with such issues. An obvious choice can be GEOS (support Delaunay triangulation since 3.4 release) or qhull.

Since I didn't have time to look at the triangulation code, I just upplied the patch now.

Do they support constrained triangulations? qhull says it does not and for geos, I didn't find it mentioned in the documentation.
Also, it would be cool to have a library which supports very large datasets (current implementation unfortunately loads everything into virtual memory).
