I'm a master's student in Computer Science with a relatively weak background with mathematics, so please Forgive me for using a lot of the wrong terms here. This problem was related to a research topic I'm currently doing.
Given a set of points in a bounded 3d space, it there a way to select a subset of points, so that-
- strictly uniformly spread out in the space, or
- not strictly, but relatively spread out so that the points aren't crowded in a single area?
Here's some poorly drawn figures that could hopefully better explain my question:
Original set: Original set
Ideal subset: Ideal Subset
Poor subset: Poor Subset
