    query_ball_point,       // Query all points within a ball
    query_pairs,            // Query all pairs of points within distance
};

Distance metrics and utilities:

use scirs2_spatial::distance::{
    // Point-to-point distances
    euclidean,              // Euclidean (L2) distance
    manhattan,              // Manhattan (L1) distance
    chebyshev,              // Chebyshev (L∞) distance
    minkowski,              // Minkowski distance

    // Other distance utilities
    directed_hausdorff,     // Directed Hausdorff distance
    distance_matrix,        // Compute distance matrix
};

Convex Hull

Convex hull algorithms:

use scirs2_spatial::convex_hull::{
    convex_hull,            // Compute convex hull of points
    convex_hull_plot,       // Generate points for plotting convex hull
    is_point_in_hull,       // Check if point is in convex hull
};

Voronoi Diagrams

Functions for Voronoi diagrams with robust handling for special cases:

use scirs2_spatial::voronoi::{
    voronoi,                // Generate Voronoi diagram function
    Voronoi,                // Voronoi diagram structure
};

// Create Voronoi diagram
let points = array![
    [0.0, 0.0],
    [1.0, 0.0],
    [0.0, 1.0],
    [1.0, 1.0]
];

// Using constructor (handles special cases and degenerate inputs automatically)
let vor = Voronoi::new(&points.view(), false).unwrap();

// Or using function
let vor2 = voronoi(&points.view(), false).unwrap();

// Access Voronoi diagram properties
let vertices = vor.vertices();        // Coordinates of Voronoi vertices
let regions = vor.regions();          // Vertices forming each Voronoi region
let ridge_points = vor.ridge_points(); // Point pairs separated by each ridge
let ridge_vertices = vor.ridge_vertices(); // Vertices forming each ridge

// Voronoi also handles degenerate cases like triangles or nearly collinear points
let triangle = array![
    [0.0, 0.0],
    [1.0, 0.0],
    [0.5, 0.866]
];
let vor_triangle = Voronoi::new(&triangle.view(), false).unwrap();

Set-Based Distances

Metrics for comparing sets of points:

use scirs2_spatial::set_distance::{
    hausdorff_distance,     // Hausdorff distance between point sets
    directed_hausdorff,     // Directed Hausdorff distance with indices
    wasserstein_distance,   // Earth Mover's Distance (Wasserstein metric)
    gromov_hausdorff_distance, // Distance between metric spaces
};

// Example: Calculate Hausdorff distance between two point sets
let set1 = array![[0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 0.0], [0.0, 1.0]];
let set2 = array![[0.0, 0.5], [1.0, 0.5], [0.5, 1.0]];
let distance = hausdorff_distance(&set1.view(), &set2.view(), None);

Polygon Operations

Functions for working with 2D polygons:

use scirs2_spatial::polygon::{
    point_in_polygon,       // Check if a point is inside a polygon
    point_on_boundary,      // Check if a point is on polygon boundary
    polygon_area,           // Calculate polygon area
    polygon_centroid,       // Find the centroid of a polygon
    polygon_contains_polygon, // Check if one polygon contains another
    is_simple_polygon,      // Check if polygon is non-self-intersecting
    convex_hull_graham,     // Compute convex hull using Graham scan
};

// Example: Check if a point is inside a polygon
let polygon = array![[0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 0.0], [1.0, 1.0], [0.0, 1.0]];
let inside = point_in_polygon(&[0.5, 0.5], &polygon.view());

// Example: Calculate polygon area
let area = polygon_area(&polygon.view());

Utilities

Helper functions for spatial data:

use scirs2_spatial::utils::{
    cartesian_product,      // Generate Cartesian product of arrays
    delaunay_triangulation, // Generate Delaunay triangulation
    triangulate,            // Triangulate a polygon
    orient,                 // Orient points (clockwise/counterclockwise)
};

KD-Tree Optimizations

The module includes optimizations for KD-tree operations to efficiently handle large point sets:

use scirs2_spatial::kdtree::KDTree;
use scirs2_spatial::kdtree_optimized::KDTreeOptimized;
use ndarray::array;

// Create a KD-tree
let points = array![[0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 0.0], [0.0, 1.0], [1.0, 1.0]];
let kdtree = KDTree::new(&points).unwrap();

// Use optimized Hausdorff distance computation
let other_points = array![[0.1, 0.1], [0.9, 0.9]];
let hausdorff_dist = kdtree.hausdorff_distance(&other_points.view(), None).unwrap();

// Batch nearest neighbor queries
let query_points = array![[0.5, 0.5], [0.2, 0.8], [0.8, 0.2]];
let (indices, distances) = kdtree.batch_nearest_neighbor(&query_points.view()).unwrap();

Advanced Features

Robust Handling of Degenerate Geometries

The module includes special handling for degenerate geometric cases:

use scirs2_spatial::delaunay::Delaunay;
use scirs2_spatial::voronoi::Voronoi;
use ndarray::array;

// Special case: Nearly collinear points in 2D
let almost_collinear = array![
    [0.0, 0.0],
    [1.0, 0.0],
    [2.0, 0.0],
    [0.0, 1e-10]  // Nearly collinear
];

// Will handle this automatically with numerical perturbation
let delaunay = Delaunay::new(&almost_collinear.view()).unwrap();
let voronoi = Voronoi::new(&almost_collinear.view(), false).unwrap();

// Special case: Triangle in 2D (handled with custom algorithm)
let triangle = array![
    [0.0, 0.0],
    [1.0, 0.0],
    [0.5, 0.866]
];
let vor_triangle = Voronoi::new(&triangle.view(), false).unwrap();

// Special case: Points with tiny numerical differences
let slightly_different = array![
    [0.0, 0.0],
    [1e-14, 1e-14],
    [1.0, 0.0],
    [0.0, 1.0]
];
// Will handle this automatically with numerical stability techniques
let delaunay = Delaunay::new(&slightly_different.view()).unwrap();

Optimized Ball Tree for High-Dimensional Data

The module includes an optimized Ball Tree implementation for high-dimensional nearest neighbor searches:

use scirs2_spatial::kdtree::KDTree;
use ndarray::Array2;

// Load high-dimensional data
let data = Array2::<f64>::zeros((1000, 100)); // 1000 points in 100 dimensions

// Create tree with leaf_size optimization and using "ball_tree" algorithm
let leaf_size = 30;
let tree = KDTree::build(&data, Some("ball_tree"), Some(leaf_size)).unwrap();

// Query is more efficient than standard k-d tree for high dimensions
let query = Array2::<f64>::zeros((1, 100));
let (indices, distances) = tree.query(&query, 5, None).unwrap();

Custom Distance Metrics

Support for custom distance metrics:

use scirs2_spatial::distance::Distance;
use ndarray::ArrayView1;

// Create a custom distance metric
struct MyCustomDistance;

impl Distance for MyCustomDistance {
    fn compute(&self, a: ArrayView1<f64>, b: ArrayView1<f64>) -> f64 {
        // Custom distance calculation
        let mut max_diff = 0.0;
        for i in 0..a.len() {
            let diff = (a[i] - b[i]).abs();
            if diff > max_diff {
                max_diff = diff;
            }
        }
        max_diff
    }
}

// Use custom distance with k-d tree
let points = Array2::<f64>::zeros((100, 3));
let tree = KDTree::build_with_distance(&points, MyCustomDistance {}).unwrap();
