In astrophysics, voronoi tessellation is used for adaptively smoothing data to reach a desired signal-to-noise ratio while trying to preserve as much spatial/angular resolution as possible [0]. It is also used in numerical hydrodynamic simulations to dynamically construct the mesh of cells for the hydro calculations[1, 2].
